They only make 1 kind... Different places will retail it for different prices but they're all the same made in Tawain ones... It comes in a white box with a warning label mentioning that they are for offroad or showroom purposes only.
I bought mine off Ebay for like $20 bucks! No refunds I guess.. Oh well!!

keep your front clears in a warm place and let the water evaporate. then take some plastic glue and seal off the edges.. i did that when i first got mine to prevent condensation.. man i'm so glad i did because i culd even see teh glue fill up the gap between the reflector housing and the clear peice.. i've washed my car and there's no condensation.

my friend did them for me... i dunno it was complicated cause he had to cut and adjust that middle thing in the fog light that like reflects inside... i know he took the front glass off... he worked from the outside... other than that i dunno what he did... i can ask him but im not sure if he will tell me cause i think he wants to start selling them but i will tell him that its for a good cause!! the ORG!! hehe
