Ebay Clear Bumper Lights

Has anyone bought these from ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-03...spagenameZWDVW

From the picture, the fronts and rears dont look like they match.....Is this really the case? I really like the looks of the fronts in the pic, but I figured since they dont match, it may just be the angle of the picture or something.

never ordered them but fronts and rears ARE different, they are not interchangeable.

yes....I know they are not interchangable. I was referring to matching appearance wise (i.e. the fronts have the black around the perimeter and the rears do not).

Thanks

I sent a message to the seller of another auction with similar looking bumper lights, and she said:

"The item is with clear lens, and the housing (the backing) is black color"

So I guess the original auction I posted about must have this type for the front, and the plain clears for the rear.

i will go with a different seller. I just really liked the looks of the fronts in the picture.

I am still deciding to go with smoked or clear, and whether to even do the rears or leave them red. I have an 03 SE sterling mist. Any suggestions?

you know, i think in the 5.5 gens, its better to change the rears because the clear/smoked lenses will have a silver look, and will match the chrome around the tailights and the stripping around the windows.. and i think that'll look good.. on my 2001, i kept the rears red because i tholught it looked better

I purchased my clear corners from eBay, but they were much cheaper and weren't smoked. The only thing I would have hoped for was an easier install since I ended up denting my bumper a little around the insertion points.
