What are the highest quality bumper lights?

I want to get new clear corners. I have a set of the cheap $20 ones but am not impressed by the quality. Is there any company that makes high quality clear bumper lenses/lights? Thanks.

i thought they were all made in the same place?

anyways, you probably have regular clears now, just get diamond clears like everyone said and you'll be happy.

Be weary of the clear corners on E-bay. I just purchased mine recentely from their and the picture clearly showed that they were the diamond cut clears, and whadda ya know! I get the friggin' cloudies! Unless they state that they are the european style and they are clear, well, i wouldnt even trust that, ask the seller personally. I went for the higher price ones on ebay thinking im getting the nicer ones, Wrong!!!! Remember, buyer be ware! My 2cents.

quality bumper lights 99 maxima

i see this is an old thread and all the links are dead.
i wanted to get another set of clear bumper lights and also a corner marker. my main concern is the bumper lights. i had gotten a set from ebay years ago and was never satisfied with the quality. the lenses never were really set on good and they were just crap. one fell of the other day so im in the market for new. which ones are good quality???
the plug connecter got ripped off too? anyone know were i might be able to get the stock connecter

Stock connector - junk yard or a dealer. All ebay bumper lights are about the same quality. They are decent, but not great.

we found the light that fell out on the side of the road so ill see if i can reattach it. if not ill just pick up a pair from ebay then.

on a side note i thought i read somewhere about bumping up the strength of your corner lights next to your headlights or making them brighter somehow. does anyone know about this thread i cant seem to find it with the searches i did.
also is there a mod to make the front of the clear bumper lights be lite up with the side bumper markers?

i was wanting to show someone how to do it and a picture is worth a thousand words. i cant mod it my self being im in a wheelchair and have no use of my fingers. it would me explain to someone how to do it.

its much appreciated.
thanks for the input so far. its good to know the ebay lights are all the same.
