Those look nice but they are not true SVO/Cobras you can see the bubble in the tape on the first picture bottom stripe and the stripes are too close together. I'm guessing all three stripes are full length too around the side. The real deal the stripes are molded into the lens. But $50 isn't bad I paid $45 for mine on ebay and had to repaint the housings and stripe them my self.

Here is a pict for reference my nephews early 85 SVO. I parked next to his when I striped mine to make sure it was as accurate as possible. With my shaky hands they still got a little wavy.

One more picture I found of the side notice the middle stripe on the lower set. This is where most people who stripe their own screw up.

Svo has black stripes, cobras have grey. I have svo's and had to repaint the black lines. The real ones also have a small piece missing on the 2nd bottom line on the ends where the small bulb goes
