i thought on the non 99 spec, they also have a little bulge already. i was told that the older ones have a sort of flat black or faded black on the non 99 specs on the outer edge, while the 99 specs have a shiny black to em. not to sure...

Not true. Mine are from a 94 and the circles were bulged out BUT not blacked out. So I blacked them out using spray paint using the same size of the circles that were bugled and no one can tell they're not 99...

well thats why i said it depends on the coverter..but in daylight, its hard to tell, at night when they are lit up, you can tell by the way they're lit..hard to explain, someone post a pic of litted converted ones and ill post a pic of my real ones lit..

Looks like the real deal to me.

BTW, I posted a pic of my JDM lights on this thread (scroll halfway down the page), and you can definitely see an "edge" on the circles:
