Final eBay Clear Bumper Lights Comparison Thread

Being aware of the dozens of threads already on this subject, previous curious posters linked the direct ebay item and failed to keep pics hosted till this day. So lets try and keep this one alive for the record books. This will be for clears only, no ambers/blacked out bumper lights. Here we go.
A)

B)

C)

D)

E)


All pictures saved in permanent photobucket album.


So, Which ones are which? I've heard 2 names thrown around with pictures. 1) Euro Clears 2) Diamond Clears.

Any buyer/review input would be great in terms appearance on 95-96 and 97+ models.

I have the euro clears on now, they have a nice look to them, and go well with the stock head lights. I just ordered the diamond clears because I had to replace my old euro's and wanted a change, so I will tell you the difference in a few days.

1996 correct?

Im guessing A and B are diamond clears and CDE are euros. Although some Euros have a black line around the edge and some dont.

Who did u order your diamonds from?

B) is a good example of Euro clears.

It's my understanding that none of your pics show the original "Diamond" clears. Pic E) however,the markers on the left side of the pic are a close representation of the what the "Diamond" clears looked like back in the day. The only difference was that all 4 markers had the frosted look and you couldn't see into the housing and see the bulb.

I'm personally not a fan of the diamond cut, but I like the clear look.

No. Notice how the ones picture(on the black car), have a grid like pattern on both pieces of the bumper light. C,D,E on ebay only have the grid pattern on the small piece and simply horizontal lines on the larger piece.

i would consider a/b euro (no diffuser on the lens) and c/d diamond, but in all actuality these are just generic ebay titles and you may see either housing called either name.

- use a flat head screwdriver with a thin cloth over it so you won't scratch anything
- put it inbetween the side and blinker light.
- gently push the handle towards the front of the car
- your side light will pop out.
- the blinker light is secured by a phillips head screw.
