Corner lights

Today i AE'ed my lights today and i fubared my corner lights. I swear there use to be nice aftermarket ones on ebay for about 20 dollars. I cant seem to find any aftermarket ones on ebay. And all they have is some OEM's for 15-20 a piece or 33+ for a set.

Anyone know where to get some aftermarket corners anymore, I may just be blind as a bat and just cant find any.

2 years ago was the last time i saw aftermarket corners which were for a 97. i had to rewire them so they would work on my 95, pretty much a crap shoot, cause they're not made anymore. someone might have a set in the for sale section, good luck.

May have to go to the junkyard sometime then.

I had the same question because i kept seeing people with ambers. I found out that i have to paint them. Ebay sells the paint its vans jdm spray paint. I did a search on it the other day. All i found was orange, red, and smoke. It runs around $25 at the cheapest for a can of orange from what i can tell.

Im talking about the lights right beside the headlights. If you can find aftermarket let me know because all ebay has is stock. All andysautosport has is stock all ive seen is stock. Dude that told me about the paint told me they stopped making the corners. The turn signals are on the bumper not by the headlight

noob question:
What does it mean when you "AE" a light? I tried searching, but the search term is not long enough to produce results.

TY,
To think they were yellow when i first bought the car(minnesota salt). All i have to say is the 3m kit does wonders.

I think im planning on blacking out the corners as well. But now i need some corners now I also managed to f'up the nipple thing that goes into teh support but that isnt to big of a deal. Guess thats what i get for forcing it.

This is good to know.. I have a pair of plastic headlights on the car and just couldn't get the haze out. I want to do a retro on my current AE Glass headlights and am going to need to put the old ones on. I didn't know the 3M kit worked soo well.. how long did the process take you?

Regular white toothpaste works aswell. I didnt think it would work but when i had my eclipse i tried it figuring what could i loose i was oreldering new ones any way so i gave it a shot. It worked alot better than i thought. Put it on the light and take a cloth and rub in circles until it gets hard then take water, or even windex and wipe it off use some wax when done it may take a couple attempts but you should notice a difference with just about every use. Give it a try what could you lose a dollar ?

Probley about 30-40 min(depending on how picky you are) with a fully charged drill(very important i cant stress it enough) First time i tried it i had not a good charge on the drill but it still cleared it out, but not to my liking

I know you could source all the peices for it but for 20 bucks its not a bad product, you could do multiple cars with it.

Here are the instructions on it
