I would check how much shipping is... mine were about that until they socked me 45 bucks for shipping. I just got them from an ebay store, I can get you the link if I still have it...

in my opinion, i rather get good condition OEM headlight, and don't have to deal with the fitment problem, those chinese headlights might have poor quality on the housing, adjustment knobs, brackets or fitment problem, and if you want to black out your headlight you can spray paint them when you have the headlight open for retrofit.

see my retro here on how i blacked out my headlight

I don't know blacked out headlights on a red Solara would look wierd, unless it was a black car like "Astro". IMO

i am currently doing a retro fit on my aftermarket black housed headlights...ill let you know how they come out, im waiting on the ballast right now to finish them up...the lighting does suck but i figure the projector should compensate much better than the h4 light bulb...
