that's because they're the apc ones that supposedly are bad quality and leak bigtime and get foggy. still look hot though!

My ebay ones fit better than the ones from CustomMaxima.
When someone hit my front end, I got their insurance party to replace my bumper lights and I ordered them from Customs and they werent all that great. They dont even fit right. $20 vs $50. Id go with eBay.

Yup, got mine for under $30 shipped. As far as fitting goes, the side markers are alittle loose. If its gets foggy you could get some silicone and seal the edges.

They have Clear Corners all the time on ebay for about ~$17, but I also saw (yesterday) some Diamond Cut CLear Corners for the Max it qwas at $16.50 last time I saw it, think it maybe be ending in day or so, could be you chance to scope up some diamond cut for cheap.

GO EBAY clears, no CM garbage

Don't buy the custommaxima ones, I bought those DC's when they first came out and the damn pieces of crap melted on me during a long drive. I wasn't using high wattage bulbs or anything either. I didn't even notice that they melted until I saw a puddles of water accumulate inside the light housing. I still have my pair of original non-diamond cut clears. Those were heavy duty and I paid big bucks for them back in '98. It's a shame that they have to produce low cost garbage these days.
