I like these, however the fact that there is no reflecting backing will probably destroy the output. Please post installed pics with them turned on and off.

Thanks

My current black corners are bright as hell with the reflective backing. Not so sure about these.

Well I went to install them and ran into a problem. The outer bumper light closest to the fender didnt include the knub that holds it in. so I took it off my other ones and went to put it on the new ones to find out the hole much larger and didnt have threads on it to hold it in but it would work the other way around. So they made them opposite.

Now after I took pics and stuff I noticed the inner one has started to slightly fog. Were talking 15-20 min here. Just the outer edges had began to fog.

They look good and everything. Only if these problems didnt exist these would be awesome. Now I am gonna be writing the seller demanding my money back for these. But anyway here a quick video I took. The new one is on the left(when looking at car) first in the video. other side my black chrome one. Oh course the light output brighter on the black chrome. Either way they will both still catch your attention.

Just installed them tonight so I cant say. They arent even usable as there nothing securing them into place. Well for the outer bumper one atleast.

sad, some people on eBay now are making anything just to sell. I mean, they look good as he!!(i.e. your bumper lense) but no ingenuity, or seems like, common sense was used when making them. Those would be HAWT FIYA if they worked as good as DC's...



Just my .02cents

Thanks for being a guinea pig, man. I hope you get your money back.

These would be cool if you could buy a set real cheap, take the lenses off, and put the lenses on the black-chrome ones. Best of both worlds

Well techinically taking lenses off and switching wouldnt help. The difference in the lenses these are clear and the others are wavy. The brightness comes from the chrome strips placed inside the bumper light. there 1 strip above where the light locks in and below then also 1 strip on each side of the light.

YOU JUST GAVE ME AN IDEA....
Mx, if you're a DIY person, you could take it apart, get the small can of chrome spray paint, and black or a gunmetal paint.

Paint chrome over top of that surface( for the reflectivenessesesess's) then black over that for the DTM/JDM look. and still have the ultra clear front. Just an idea.

The paint would probably be $4.95 per can at pepboys. The SMALL cans.



Oh, and JB weld glue I believe to reseal it/prevent that leak for a fog.

Possibilities. I just now thought taking the lenses off the dc ones and then off the other ones and switching out the lenses put the crystal clear one on the dc the one with chrome reflectives. But painting the light black before you put it back together. I dont know how that would work. probably take away all the light output also.

The lights look sweet and everything but are unusable and got leaks in the corners. I wrote the seller an email and hopefully I will get an email back in a timely manner. I told him if he does not refund me I will be disputing this to paypal and a negative will be left.

well...if you wanna do it my way...you dont need the little tabs to hold them in place. I go ghetto and use mulch chips I shove it inbetween the bumper and the light and im good to go u dont even see it unless ur looking for it, however, they usually will pop out as soon as you hit 100

I have a better idea and this is what you were supposed to do with Digitals mod dammit haha.. clear coat the living fawk out of the black as to make it extremely reflective, even though its black its suprisingly effective.

it's really too bad that this product is another example of people trying to make a quick buck.
Good luck with trying to get your $ back, and I'm glad that I waited before I ordered these.
