Looks a bit like my Hellas but they are slightly modified from what I've got. May be the covers are a bit clearer? Here are mine (almost shown in picture)

Same as yours.....you can pop the glass lenses off and paint the grilles what ever color you desire and that is what happen to the others.....they painted the grilles/fins to match the car grille....

I've got two sets of them... one and a half actually... the MORON who shipped them to me packed them lens to lens, with nothing in between... broke one of the lenses...

anybody got a spare lens?

You can still buy the lenses new over here. If you need a link PM me ('cos I don't want to run into trouble with the moderators by posting links to the competition!)

Looks like the car in the OP's link had the lights taken apart and the plastic insides painted a bit darker.... the same thing I did with my W126 lights.
