As long as I can remember custommaxima has had 'Out of stock' listed for these on his website.
Click here
Were these actually available at one time??? Anybody lucky enough to own a pair? Can we purchase them somewhere else? I have e-mailed him several times but, as always, - completely ignored (great customer service).

I bought mine from RedlineMax. Talk to Corey, he might have some.

The same things are on ebay and procarparts i think
And emailing custommaxima doesnt work, you need to call them to get answers.

still not so sure if they're too clear and ricey or not. they look good when people black out the housing completely, but the way they come, they stand out too much imo.


the jury is still out whether i want to get them when i order the headlights.

Jepht, I hear you. But I figured since the headlights themselves are clear, why not the corner lights too?

Ms. Maxima, thanks but I am talking about the corner lights, not the bumper lights (as indicated in my orginal post's title and provided link)

97Maximus, I tried that too - "Out of stock".

rsly, Out of stock at procarparts and I do not see any on e-bay.

maxfanfromohio, I did talk to Angie and she claims they are discontinued.


I do appreciate the responses guys (and gal), but this isn't looking too good. :I

Ebay also has these lights ususally for cheap.

These look great on light colored vehicles (sterling mist, white, pebble beige, etc). What I think would look awesome is if you took the same d/c and tinted it with an orange translucent paint if you had a darker vehicle (black, rosewood, green, etc).

Why do people refer this being a lucky purchase as if it is rare? Did they stop producing them?

Do you not think they are rare? We just listed 4+ sites that have them out of stock.

I think you are right calsonic. Thanks bud. They have them listed and they don't say out of stock. But they also don't show a picture.

Stuntin, they are 'diamond' cut. In a nutshell: they are clearer and you can see inside them.

i got some from custommaxima last week as replacements for the one that broke when i wrecked my car earlier this month. To my knowledge, the body shop had no problems in getting them. The only problem is the ones they sent got some water in them w/in a couple days so i'm tryin to get some replacements through the body shop for free.

Because ebay doesn't sell them yet.WE are not talking about bumper lights.We are talking about the corner lights next to the headlights as sown here http://www.customenterprise.com/view...sd/scspid/4717

Maybe this is a stupid newbie question, but can't we just replace the bulb within the corners to a brighter/bluer one? If so, where to buy the bulbs?
