i noticed that these are not the oem corner lights. how is the fitment on them? do they fit the same as OEM ones or worse cause i bought some from ebay and they were aftermarket and fitment was horrible so i sold them. and are they better in terms of lighting cause the buls is placed differently. how much shipped?

Damn. A friend just got them and the metal ball seems to be around an inch to short. He doesn't want to jam it in cause he might crack it.

i like the white light. normaly i would say go with amber but with the projecters and not reflecting so much i think the amber clashes wit the white light. just a thought.

you have to heat them up, use an over or a hair dryer, either work, just dont over heat in the oven(~200). I used RustOleum Gloss Black paint.

I suppose the base of the bulbs only have two wires on these since there for 97-99. So can us 95-96 guys use our stock base since we have 3 wires. i am planning on doing 97 conversion so theres no problem with them not fitting.Even though they should fit either way since i have 97 corners on right now with 96 headlights.
sorry to bring this up from the dead.

Have you tried it without any bulbs? I just don't really like how weak it is compared to your hids.
