Normally the cost of shipping and the cost of the actual lights combined will still be cheaper than buying them from a company outside of ebay. At least that is what I have found in my own experiences.

I found that to be true as well, when I bought my clear corners from eBay.
I bought mine 2 months ago off eBay, and paid a total of $29.95 which included shipping to my house. The seller's user ID for mine was: "symmic", and the lenses were $16.99 + $12.99 S&H, and they even came with amber bulbs.

well take the bulb out and look at the socket. there should be some little o-ring around it. i put some silicone around the socket and put it back in, but the moisture is still trapped. i need to get a new one i think
