They look good but the build quality of the plastic bits could be better.
example: i had to superglue one of the adjusters onto the bolt because it was so stiff to adjust it almost broke off.

Is it possible to use the original metal frames from the old lights ?

Yes (they are plastic)
The adjusters pop out and new ones should pop in. But you may find that the old ones break as you take them out.(the little plastic clips)
