I am going to purchase front and possible clear corners from e-bay. Any positive or negative feedback about who to buy from or who to avoid. Thanks in advance.

 

do you think you are the first person to ever buy clear corners?
you dont think there is information available?

 

im going to answer your question for you. I purchased mine from autodynamic.com, and they are not cheaply made, and have not rusted or anything. I dont have any issues with mine.

Positive feedback, GET THEM, and enjoy them. People will say in some states if you dont have orange bulbs up front and red bulbs in the back you could get a ticket for it being "so called" illegal.

Like my tail lights for example, On here they say the all cler tails ARE ILLEGAL,because there is no red reflector, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE IN MARYLAND.

 

here we go...you are full of ****.
lighting laws are FEDERAL so yes your tailights are illegal. so are clear corners. having the proper colored bulbs will make it less obvious. just because you havent gotten pulled over doesnt mean they are legal.

read up before you make stuff up http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2...cfr571.108.htm

please dont argue this with me...i have been doing it on here for years. you wont win since i know the law.

 

I will assume you meant BUY and not BY.

If I thought I was the first person to buy clear corners I wouldn't ask for anyone's opinion about it since they wouldn't have a valid opinion if I was the first to purchase them.

I done a couple searches and only came up with people who have listed them in there mods like Cattman Y-pipe, Stillen RSB, Clear corners. I guess that should have been enough info for me. How dare me of all people, an Automotive Technician with 18 years experience of seeing people buying not the highest quality accessoires, how could I have the nerve to ask for the positive and negative feedback about it. Me a Donating Org Member asking a question in a forum.

I forget, was your reply a positive experience or a negetive one?

 

you are a donating member and couldnt get your answer?
you should ask for your donation back since you dont know how to search

 

and what does you being "an Automotive Technician with 18 years experience" have to do with this topic

 

look man, i dont give a damn what you say ....Im going by what ive ben told and read by Sources here in Baltimore, Maryland. U dont live in Maryland and i really dont give a damn about a URL thats not even Federally hosted. You want to display facts, DISPLAY A FEDERAL DOCUMENT POSTED FROM A FEDERAL WEBSITE, ON A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WEBSERVER. NOT A TEXT DOCUMENT WITH NO OFFICIAL SEAL, on A SERVER HOSTED FROM GOD KNOWS WHERE. (give me time and ill track WHO's site that is, but its probably not EVEN WORTH MY TIME) The fact that you claim to be doing somehting for years means jack. Ive been doing Information Technology for years....BUT GUESS WHAT, no one gives a damn

 

DUDE, HIS REPLIES ARE NEGATIVE AS USUAL...... I think he HATES life or something

 

is this better http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/...VSS/index.html

FEDERAL LAW

 

just stupid people

 

thats great!!!!!! Im still going by MD-SHA (STATE LAW)

and if thats the case, why are the Lexus RX 350 and the New Mecury Mountaineer SUV's coming standard with ALL CLEAR TAILS

http://www.mercuryvehicles.com/mountaineer/
http://www.lexus.com/models/RX/
HOPE U HAVE FLASH? (if u know what it is)

(and technically if there is a red bulb, then it is always reflecting RED...which in this case the reflection is all that makes the difference)

 

like i said...its a FEDERAL LAW that covers the whole US and its public roads. unless MD is its own country, federal laws apply.

 

O YES!!!! the lexus argument!!!!

look at those cars...the have huge red reflectors on the bumper.

 

i dont give a damn about the bumper, we are talking about TAILS, and even that pointless link you posted form the national highway administration SAID specifically TAIL LAMPS, THAT IS WHAT THIS is ABOUT, tail lamps

 

i thought this was about clear corners

tailights must light up red
there has to be a red reflector in the rear.
the maxima uses the tailight for both.
the lexus uses the reflector on the bumper to pass the law.

your car will only be legal if you have red reflectors on the bumper...you dont have them.

 

thats great!!!!!! Im still going by MD-SHA (STATE LAW) well i guess my car is illegal then..back to clear corners

 

State Laws only trump federal laws when the state laws are MORE strict

again...MD state law cant be less then federal.

since i provided the federal law...show me the MD law that says your tails are legal

 

why do people argue with me

 

i dont need to do anything, because UNLIKE YOU......im not out to prove anything and at the end of the day. Myself, as well as several OTHER .org members will still have their ALL CLEAR TAILS

 

or you have no proof. thats ok since i know you are wrong

 

what was this thread about again?

 

The Maryland Vehicle Law clearly states the colors which are required on the front, back and sides of vehicles used on
public highways, and these laws are in conformance with the Federal Safety Standards for Motor Vehicles
manufactured in the United States. Changing or altering these required items subjects the vehicle operator to a
Moving Vehicle Traffic Citation, (usually $40-50) and/or a Safety Equipment Repair Order.

WHEN IN DOUBT ABOUT A PARTICULAR AFTER-MARKET ITEM, CONTACT THE MARYLAND STATE POLICE -
AUTOMOTIVE SAFETY ENFORCEMENT DIVISION AT (410) 424-3787 FOR AN OFFICIAL RULING.

uhuh.....

 

thank you sooner........ like we already established....my car is illegal......back to clear corners

 

Here are a few more dumb laws

Texas
It is illegal for children to have unusual haircuts.
A recently passed anti-crime laws requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and explain to the nature of the crime about to be committed.
It is illegal to milk another person's cow.
In El Paso, churches, hotels, halls of assembly, stores, markets, banking rooms, railroad depots, and saloons are required to have spittoons on hand.
In Houston, it is illegal to sell Limburger cheese on Sunday.
The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.

oh yah speeding is also illegal, so i guess ill turn my self in for doing 70 in a 55 on my way to work

 

sooner, your like a leech... just let it go man....
the newbs are taking over, and i know your trying to stop them from spreading like a disease, but its already been done spreading.

 

those are all different from car lighting laws that are intended to keep the occupants, pedestrians, and other cars safe.

those dont even compare...but nice try

 

ive been working to keep this place running better for years...why should i just give up
should the mods also stop?

 

y cant we all be friends haha

 

we can be friends when i move back to OKC next summer
until then

 

depending on the color of the car, i would suggest the smoked corners... you can get them anywhere on ebay and they look nice...

we can go back and forth about the technicalities of which color to have where, etc., but when it comes down to it, people are gonna see you at night if you have your lights on.. there's no situation that i can think of where someone would see a dull yellow or red light, but not a brighter, white light that has better output (which most people put behind clear corners).. just get em.. if you get pulled over then whatever.. just deal with the situation from there

 

Dude, with friends like you, who needs enemies? All you ever do is rant about 'the rules' and ***** at people. Grow up. Stop being so negative, it's a horrible personality trait.

 

who cares about the laws. we break them everyday. every law has conour laws. so about the lenses GET THEM. buy amber bulbs so you won't have to many issues with cops.

 

you say apple, i say orange, but at the end of the day they are both fruits

 

This thread is done. Thanks for playing everyone.
