I saw a auction on EBay for these bumper lenses. Are these new or are they just the regular clear ones? I forgot what my clear ones look like and I'm pretty much unsure what to think at this point?

This is just regular clear lenses. Nothing special. I know it cause I bought clear bumper lense from them.

they actually

look a little more "clear" as apposed to my courtesy clear corners which are more "white" these are probably worse because if you plan on putting an orange bulb in them it will stand out a lot more as apposed to a whiter one.

"TIRED OF THE CLEARS? UPGRADE TO DIAMOND CUT LIGHTS!!"

I just got these "diamond cut" from these guys about a week ago. They actually look a little cleaner to me than the courtesy clears. the bulb actually sticks out less.

Here's the links to both of the auctions so you guys can judge...

I actually think that they are a new set of clear lenses which could match the 97-99 headlights. From the pictures, they do look "diamond-cut" unlike the Courtesy lenses, especially between the side markers. Here's the links...

I have the diamond cut lights and they do look better because all the other ones I have seen have a line around the lights.

They are different

Yes, you guys are correct. The diamond-cut clears are more Euro like, will look better on a 97-99 Max because of the clear head lights. But also, take into consideration that the picture could be "tampered". It could be hype. You never know those Ebay guys....just my 2 cents.

post some pics

whoever has the diamond cut ones, post some pics. I'm fine with my courtesy clears, but I agree 97-99 have the diamond cut headlights and these would probably match better.
