bulbs from diamond-cut clears from custommaxima.com

Alright...I want to buy bumper clears. It seems that there are those "very" clear ones which look like our headlights, but ppl here have been saying that they leak water and that they get all foggy and that basically they suck.

I am thinking about purchasing the diamond-clears from custommaxima.com because they are best for the buck clears...am I wrong? I mean, they come with 4 orange bulbs and from what I know there are no problems with'em. They sell for $39 and that is cheapest price for clears anywhere that actually give you a perfect fit unlike those other cheaper ones from ebay that do not.

Anyway, please tell me if it is a good buy. Also, are the 4 orange bulbs that the clears come with going to last? I mean, the bulbs are probably very poorly designed...anyone have problems with'em? Will they last?

Thanks in advance for any feedback as I'm growing tired of the ugly orange lens!

Custommaxima Diamond Clears are the best buy out there...especially in regards to some of the better quality stuff out there.

If it fogs up then seal all around it with rv silicone gel...I don't know why people don't just do that instead of complaining about it.

I bought some Diamond clears off Ebay and came with orange bulbs.I have no problem with them.I did first use just the clears bulbs that were with the stock orange and they look nice.I kept the parking light white and put the orange on the signal.It looks better that way instead of going all orange bulbs.

I got the ones from Ange from redlinemax.com. I am very happy with them. I got all 4 bulbs with them and it was great customer service. I reccomend these over ebay or custommaxima (unreliable as i hear). Ange is very trustworthy and fast shipping, without jacking you on the shipping. I say go with redlinemax.com.

I bought my diamond cut clears from Custommaxima.com about a year ago. I received them within a few days after putting the order in. I have not had any problems with them. I just had to unscrew the nipple bolt slightly so that they would fit tightly.

I visited that shop B4. It's small and I don't remember seeing the car. I went to ask about the indiglo door sills and the guy there didn't know anything about them and said that they kept stuff at a factory or something like that. And I would have to come back another time to talk to someone about it further. I wondered if I was at the right place. lol

I brought a pair of these a year ago and they fogged up which they tend to do but not of them... I sent them back and they replace them with a good set.. Haven't had a problem since. I love them so much I would never go back to those stock amber ones. I hate that they're cheaper now!!!

My Car club Sells those headlights your looking for without the corners..

but the headlights are for the left and right without the corners, your looking at $92.65 + 23.90 shipping straight to you.

I mean, you might find a better price with the corners shipped.. i was just throwing stuff out there.

and the brand is Option Racing.

better yet

you could buy the R34 one piece headlights and retro fit them with projectors. And I sell projectors too. Me and Matt from the RetroFitSource.com are joint companies trying to help each other out to make sells. And the Bi-Xenon FX's with the clear lens will be a perfect match up for those R34 headlights.

We have the headlights for sale at $169.41... of course ebay is cheaper.. and price that with some of Matt's FX's? your looking at roughly $350-$400 i didn't add any shipping like that.. i was just roughly guessing.. that price didn't include shrounds.. and shrouds that i would recommend that i personally think look good are the GTI-r shrouds. They require a bit of cutting, their not too big or small and will fit perfect in the the R34 housing. those run abour $30.00 from TRS.

Actually better yet, Matt may give you a Deal. Email him and tell him David from Street Obsessions Car Club sent ya, he might price you a bit better.

But anywho.. i hope this helps you bro.
