That sounds nearly impossible to install, unless you secure them from inside the bumper. Although these would look nice with Cefiro heads!

i guess it's possible to have an "one piece" bumper lense.
Technically, if you glue them together, are they considered "one piece"?

its easy to do, i dont know why they arent fabricated....all u have to do is put both lamps together, and remove the clear plastic lens and replace those two with one big plastic lens covering both, it seriously isnt tough to do....if u have the right materials, to mount, i will find a way....press in from the front, and drill it in somehow from the back, or even get loops to zip tie them in....

I would buy something like this in a heart beat. I hate the way that the 194 bulb is dimmer than the 1156/1157 bulb and that there is a 2 inch gap with no light. I think it would be great to have two 1156/1157 bulbs. Maybe we could see if http://www.clearcorners.com/ could make these. They are expensive but i would pay around 100 dollars for these. Maybe they could be clear like these http://www.procarparts.com/store-det...=onlinestoreDB

We could ask Mojomax if he wants to fabricate there, we can suggest it in the Group Deal’s wanted section. And if more then 20 people want this that I’m a good chance it could happen.

i thought about these a while ago and couldn't really think of how to make them, and figured no one would ever mass produce them. but i would be down probably if they came out...they could also make the black housing to match ae headlights and would sell like hotcakes.


lately i've been thinking of shaving my bumper lights and only putting in a small side marker but filling in the rest maybe if/when i get my bumper repainted in the spring. then just use the corner clearance lamp as the blinker. i remember that member with the evergreen max and bbk, amongst other things, out in alhambra(sp?) cali shaved them completely. kinda makes it look like an i30 but unique. anyone else done this or considered it? anyone want to photoshop this and the one peices?

You could have a solid one piece bumper lense with a threaded bolt sticking out. Remove the plastic pop-in holder that's there now and the bolt would fit through there and the whole light can be secured from behind with a wingnut.

Very nice idea but these won't get made. These will go the way of mass producing red/clears for 95-96's. Lots of apparent interest but no dreams turned to reality unless you self fabricate something.

But hopefully I'm wrong.

I don't think it should be hard...we can set it same way its on now, just without the screw in the middle:



Now removing it (like to change a bulb) would be the problem...unless u just go under the car and do it like that

These would be so easy to install If they were one piece. The larger piece in the front has a tab on the inside that slides into the slot and a screw on the other side. The other smaller piece has a tab on on side and a nub to hold it in place. As one piece all you would have to do is have a tab on the inside of the lense and and insert that into the slot toward the inside of the bumper. Now the outer edge of the light would only need the little nub that snaps into place and no tab. But, if you think this is a good idea, just think of how easy it is for people to steal to the two pieces. Thats the only dilemma i have.

would be totally hot to have a series of lights in the side marker to keep them well illuminated.
