Headlights/corner lights/bumper lights

Well I need to replace my corner and bumper lights due to an accident and I foudn these corner/headlights on ebay as well as bumper lights.

Here are the corner/head lights:

And here are the bumper lights:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...link:middle:us

What I was wondering is if anyone has these installed on their car and if they do then if possible can I get a picture of them?

It would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Stephen

just to let you know that those bumper lights are not sealed very well and will fog up at the first sign of rain...

They look good. I personally went for these:

I am using HID with the above lights and am very pleased, great output and never been flashed by oncoming traffic.
But they don't have the corner lights, which can be hard to find. The bumper lights look good, but I don't have experience with them.

Hope that helps.

where do you buy this silicone? does it come in a tube or what?

i just got some clears and the craftsmanship is ****ing horrible. looks like it was assembled by a 7 year old. the gap between the lens and the housing is 1/8th of an inch off in some places. not to mention the places it is sealed is wavy.......


so just buy some silicone caulk and squeeze it in there? how long will it take to set?

any other words of wisdom?

go to a hardware sotre and get some permatex black silicone adhesive sealant. any silicone sealant should work tho. you can get them in a squeezable tube and read the directions for set time-usually 1 to 2 hours

I had the black bumper lights before getting the clear ones and i got rid of them because i didnt like the look. And ye they fog a bit but nothing a little silicone cant fix. Best thing to do is a photoshop to see if they go, i mean on an all black car it might just look to stealthy. G/l bro.

HIDs in reflective housings will always have crappy output.
These headlights are nice for retros though.
