jmm98ls1, that black looks really sharp. Got me thinking now.
y2kta, that was the problem, on one headlight the part of the bracket was broken off, and the other one was broken off on the light to where the bracket mounted. Compared to the other light I would have to build up that part to make the bracket right so the light would be able to adjust. They've really just had it and I'm gonna get something. Gonna try to find some OEM or may go with the black like above, I like that. There used to be a guy on ebay that sold the OEM's painted black behind the lense, but I can't find them anymore. Again, thanks to all the responses and ideas.

I paid a little over 400 for my oem from the local dealer. That cost was at my commercial account price.

I bought a set of the "DEPO" lights you are talking about when they first came out, about a year later the clear coat or whatever the hell it is was peeling off and the rubber molding was falling off. Those headlights are garbage and I'd stay away from them.

I ended up giving my stockers the whistler treatment in semi-gloss black and sanded and polished the lenses.
