97-99 Stock corners match diamond signals better than those do.


Those corners shouldbe pared with those old APC signals that had reflector style like our headlights

Yes, but those clearance lights look EXACTLY like the 97-99 headlights. They match up just fine.

i bought these (since my stock one was broken from an accident)....

the quality of them isn't that good... they would look nice if there was no bulb inside... you can see the bulb right through....
i went to wash my car & the passenger side is not sealed properly and water got into it....
crappy quality...

i e-mailed procarparts.com (that's where I bought them) over a week ago & still no response......................

stick to your stock ones....

My friend took them apart and painted the inside black to match his heads. No leaks but they don't want snap into the socket. If they do they'll be uneven with the heads. It is a very cheap quality part.

it would be better if one can cover the bulbs with some sort of reflective thing like 97-99 headlights that way bulb don't show through

maybe with silverstar bulbls, they would look better?

but if they're that bad of quality (moisture can get in), then it's totally not worth it, IMO.

just some info..if you buy from Makotoautotrends, they are extremely slow. You'll pay and wait a month for your part, then you'll call to inquire about your item, nd they will tell you that it hasnt been sent through the system so the order wasnt even filled yet...blah blah blah. maybe they have gotten better since my experience.

I havent installed them because im waiting to install my new headlights. If they really dont line up right then i feel stupid for getting them.
Just wondering... how the hell can you mess up something like that? I mean its not that hard to copy something that small.

it's just cheaply made.... taiwan or something...
mine line up pretty nice... but it's not sealed right & water gets in one of them...

still though I think that those silver plated bulbs are a must with these corner lights.
