For those of you that have them, where did you buy your's from? I've been searching the web but can't decide if some of these websites are legit.

Also, did they come with the bulbs and if not, where would I be able to buy some?

I got mine off eBay. I got the "smoke" color ones and I love them. You can get the smoke color (clear but tinted slightly black, blends in with bumper better) or the clear ones.

Either way, they don't usually come with new lights. You can get a set at any of your local auto parts stores like Pep Boys or Napa or something. Make sure you get the amber tinted bulbs, not the clear ones like what's in there now or you'll have white turn signals. The part number for the bulbs you want is 3157A

Here's some smoke ones:

And some clear ones:

I like to go thru eBay because you have the buyer protection that PayPal provides and most are reputable sellers. I had no trouble when I got mine.

Got mine from ebay, cant remember the guy's name but make sure you check both price and shipping. Then check the stats of the store ( % positive score ) ...
Only the lens, no bulbs... The right signal one had a misbuild and the way the connector fits in it was mistakenly directed downward and i couldnt fit it so i simply used a knife and cut some of the connector's plastic stopper. You know when you plug in the connector then you swivel it around to make it lock into place ... it was locking downward .... on the bumper side so it wouldnt fit ... I glued it lightly and taped it so illl be able to replace a bulb and redo the process ... I have all 3 custom lights and i love it !! Signal lights lens, 3rd brake lens and Brake lens ...

I do like the smoke ones but my bumper is body color (khaki) so I don't know if they'll look out of place with clear fog and headlight lenses. I might go with the clear just to have my whole front end match. Thanks for that part number though! I'll grab those clear ones and just pick up some bulbs.

How hard are they to swap out on your own?

Another option you could do is Niteshades. Its a tint spray, it gives a glossy dark tint, while still allowing the orange glow through.
