Advice on Headlights/Corner lights

Been a member on here a long time, just started lerking again.

Never really like my front corner light, with combination with my headlights. My headlights are good. Anyone know any options to do the corners with something different ? I really dont wanna do a one peice and have to do my projectors ALL over again.

Here is a picture. See how it doesnt even match. I hate it

I would pm chris_man, the retrofit guy, he is headlight jesus. If there is a way to make your corners sexy, that guy will know.

sup matty. guess you could pull it apart and do a coat of smoke/tint on the reflective part. darken it a tad so it's not so stark and bright.

what else would you call a guy who can save you from your sins (read: buying crappy egay headlights that look like sh*t) And who can turn a normal headlight (read: water) into an amazing headlight (read: wine)....

Put orange 1157's in, the contrast will look good next to the projector. If you want the bulb to be invisible, I think Sylvania makes a silver bulb that lights up orange. You wont see that through the lens.

Id get 97-99 corners. They are a bit more clear than the 95/96.

Cornering/turn light

Isn't that the light that comes on to illuminate the direction you are turning. That was what happened on my 1996 maxima. Doesn't work on my 1999 maxima

It did, on the 95/96. with the 97 midcycle refresh, that feature was scrapped.
