Should have bought from custommaxima.com instead...the Diamond Clears are 1000times better and they only cost about $10 more.

(I made the same mistake you did and drove around with the cloudy 'clears' for a month before I went to custommaxima.com)

What is with this perception that CustomMaxima.com's clear corners are any different from anyone elses. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME C RAPPY QUALITY! It's not like they make their own, they only distribute the same ones all the other people are.

thats true that they are all the same. i wish there was a store for the after market parts that you could go to and SEE what your paying for.

Ok...let me actually SHOW you the difference between the eBay 'clear' corners I bought and the custommaxima 'Diamond Clear' corners I bought.

eBay (cloudy)


CustomMaxima (clear)


Most...and I am not saying all...but most of the lights you buy off of eBay are like the ones I pictured above and they are 5hitty in appearance.

I have to agree with Mr.Eous, the ebay ones that I have seen are kind of cra ppy.
I have enjoyed the clarity of mine from custommaxima.com from day one. They are great! And clear!
I think mine were like $40 shipped.

Um i know the difference. If you end up with the foggy ones but you didnt want the foggy ones you just werent paying attention to what you were buying. They have auctions for hyperblack, diamond cut and foggy ones on ebay. I bought diamond cuts from ebay. The ebay diamond cut and the CM diamond cut are the same.

Got mine from eBay ... I didn't expect OEM quality, so I wasn't dissapointed when I got them. For me, at least the yellow is gone I don't like the 'diamond' clear where you can see the bulb, I prefer the 'cloudy' ones. But, that's just my .02

the ebay ones are foggy, the custommaxima or redlinemax ones are diamond cut and clear but all 3 have one thing in common, they all suck @$$ when it comes down to QUALITY

i had the cloudy clears before my custommaxima clears. the cm clears are alot nicer looking. i was just fortunate enough that a rock hit my old clears and broke it! it forced me to buy the cm clears which i luv! but regardless not as strong or good quality like our factory oranges

i second (or third or fourth or whatever) the ebay ones, i got mine for about 25 bucks shipped, i think it was like 15.99 auction closed with just my bid and 9 shipping. they look exactly like my roommate's who bought his from custom maxima for about 45 bucks. it actually looks like they are the exact same parts but i have no real way of proving that. i'll get pics of them on if anyone is interested.
