Yeah Clear Halogens (not Litronic) are expensive new almost as much as Litronics. I paid $1100 with shipping and clear corners for my Litronics from Brandwine, wiring them up (so that the high beams are correctly pointed) is probably another $200. I haven't seen any retailers sell the clear Halogens for lesst than $900. Might as well go Litronic.
You can find a set of clear Halogens used for about $500-$700. I have a set that I will posting on Ebay soon. I did the amberectomy, added clear corners and added stonguard protection. I would have kept them and sold the Litronics seperately from the car but this was an expensive week with the Recaro seats and Carrera wheels.

P.S.
something I contemplated, (if you really hate the amber look). Buy the clear corners $50 and take the headlights to a window tinting place. Maybe they can tint over the amber with chrome tinting film. The turn signal should still shine through. Maybe tint the corner as well to have a more uniform look.
