Yes you're right. As i have to count on my father for all the financing, he was not not very much interested in smoked headlamps as he found less then minor difference. 
This is what makes me stop, I donnot want to exchange my headlamps but on the same time i find 9K too expensive aswell.
Lets see when i loose my mind and buy them:P
They were in okay condition. Were definitely second hand but on the same time clean pieces. He was asking around 22K for rear lamps.
