Has anyone bought a set of clear corners, not the clear bumpers, but the corners that already pretty clear? If so, what does it look like on your car. I noticed APC sells a set but for $75, is it worth the trouble?

hmm

you mean the ones next to the headlights? I don't see why anyone would like to spend $75 on something you'll hardly even notice Personaly, I've never seen anyone with them, are they whiter or what?

Do you have a link to where you saw them for sale? I'm curious about how different they are from the stock ones...

Get em off Ebay for $45ish. maybe less.

On certain color cars they look better than the ugly orange corner lamps. Takes almost 5 minutes to install and that includes opening the box. Goodlooking in IMHO. Not to tacky -just a little different.

Yes I am a Dumbass.

Listen to Nine7Max. No one will notice those most likely. Spend the money elsewhere.

I know a place that sells them brand new for $30 each, for any year. 95-96 look kinda fogged out and 97-99 are more like glass. Im gettina set when i do the 99 headlights too. E-mail me if you want the number for them.

The lens is listed as the "cornering lens" in the manual. Stock it appears somewhat brown, but if you replace the bulb (1157 I believe) and do some rewiring the lights look great.

What's up with the backfill and the random comments? If people are doing the 97-99 front end conversion they SHOULD get the 97-99 corner lenses because they are clearer than the 95-96 lenses. The APC corners are another story.

How much does a 95-96 to 97-99 front end conversion usually cost? I've been thinking about doing it.
