Corner/clearance light question

Are you referring to the actual bulb size or the corner light housing itself?

Either way, they are different.
95/96 - bulb is 1157, housing is more 'cloudy', wired to turn bright with blinker
97-99 - bulb is 1156, housing is more 'clear', stays same all the time

You can use 97-99 corners on 95/96, just use the stock wiring harness. That's what I'm running now.

95-96 and 97+ corners are interchangeable, you just need to use your existing wire harnesses.

Ok cool cause these are the ones I'm lookin at an sorry I should've said the housings,


An DB do you have housings or just bulbs? I kno you have the idirtys stock ones, but I want to stay away from the orange reflector

Thanks for all the help guys, an one last q, can I just change the bulb to stop it from gettin brighter? I do like the extra light especially with tinted windows but I also feel like a grandpa too lol I usually see this on grandpa/ma cars lol

Aiming was simple. You attach the housings to the car, and you make a line on the top of the housings that is parallel with the Rad Support Bar. Then, you aim the projectors in the housings according to the line you made. For up and down aiming, you simply use the adjustment screws on the housings once installed on the car.

I have similar LED's in my corners. They are the blue/white color. They look really nice at night, especially since my corners are tinted.
