Do they have at a lot of pop? Never seen any. I suppose they are a green tint. They worth the cost for an upgrade?

It's a subtle difference in the shrouds inside the lights, have a hint of green to them. Up to you whether it's worth the cost, I personally wouldn't spend money for that alone but if you can get a set in much better condition than your current lights, maybe it'd be worth it. If I were you, I'd find a 01+ GS for sale in your area and check them out in person and decide if it's worth it to you.

I think they look better, almost make the car look a little cleaner and modern. After owning both I don't see no benefit in them, as they don't cast a different light.

As above. I wouldn't pay for them but they came on my 430 and as I had the older, clearer lights on my black 300, I think they do look nicer.
