the inner lenses should be a dark gray
and hte actual lense should be slightly smoked
also if it has a city light then your all good with the STANLEY stamp on it

Is that a hyper-white ( blue ) bulb I see peaking out in that picture? From rice to nice i guess...They look about right, the color of the CTR headlight that is...but I don't understand why you would pay that much so that the beams shine off to the wrong side of the road? Same reason you'd rock blue turn signals?
