Long story short, I need new corner lenses and or headlights-corner lenses combo. I have two that I'm considering. What do you recomend that would blend in with my car nicely. Thanks for any suggestions.
I'm considering these two:

why not get new ones of what you have? i like those better than the options you gave personally.

Failed Va. inspection today and only really need new DOT amber corners-BUT- I removed my single beam HID and put halogens back in for the day to access Hi/Lo beams and one exploded and spread dust, broken glass and a strange coating all over the inside of one of the two headlights.

Blue Oval Industries have no smoked corner lenses. They do have a 4 piece smoked set on backorder but I do not see anywhere that the corner lenses would be stamped "DOT Compliant" which is what I failed for.

I found some great looking headlights like the ones at BOI and many other places but all out of stock. These corner lenses are DOT stamped.

If anyone can help locate a decent smoked 4 piece set in stock I would appreciate it-

Why not just put the OEM ones back in?

Most aftermarket headlights for our cars look horridly cheap IMO. That said, those smoked corners you posted in the OP don't look bad at all.

I've gone through a few sets of headlights and my originals are long gone. Good idea though.
Putting OEM bulbs in to pass the test was a good idea too until the one exploded and covered the entire inside of the headlight fixture with glass powder and pieces. Damn, what a day. I gave the shop grief because they passed me last year, even though technically they are in the right. Still pissed me off.
Thanks everyone. Always appreciate the help when i'm in a jam.

gotta go with the suggestion of the "black beaut's" easily the best looking headlight for the old sn95's.

I have a very similar headlight combo that I prefer, but they're no longer being made as far as I know. None of the one piece lights ever look good. The two piece headlights look better with the way the hood and fenders line up with them.
