Retro turn lights and signals

I have been eyeing British custom retro turn signals and retro rear light, but the retro tail light has been out of stock for a while. Plus, it is $219 which feels a little steep for a tail light. Are there similar, preferably cheaper, alternatives available?

Here is what I have in mind:

Those turn signals are not retro - originally the Bonneville was fitted with Lucas chrome turn signals:

Thanks for all the responses. I understand that BC retro tail light is not a true retro, but I like it. I think the oem turn signals and tail light look fat.

I saw a bunch of tail lights similar to BC retro light (is it called miller style?) on eBay but not sure if they will work on my Scrambler. I am not very technical, so there is a good chance that I will buy something incompatible and eventually end up spending more.

I am also considering Lucas style light from NB. They double as running lights and they are black (I am not a fan of Chrome).
