Quality is about the same as OEM, the fitment is good and the clear glass lens is 10 times better then the orignal 95-96 glass.
I have pics posted on the org somewhere of them. For 100 bux you cant really go wrong.

You could always just wetsand and polish if you wanted to get rid of that hazyiness and discoloring.

If you do what flava said and then spay some clear coat over them (spray can at wal-wart in automotive section), the yellow will not come back for a long time. Autozone or Oreilley has PlastX which you would use after wet sanding. (of if you're lazy like me just use it by itself)

I second that. Much better than the stock glass lights.
