You could try opening them up and painting them.

I painted mine. It wasnt hard. I used some high temp low gloss black engine paint. See sig.. Im going to get some 97-99's and paint them the same way. Since I have new headlights, and I AE'd those as well, everything looks good except the corners. I even AE'd the fogs. Those were the hardest to do.

They should be the same things between 95-99. The 4th gen corners weren't different, just buy the ones on ebay or look in the 4th gen classifieds.

As I said, yeah they'll work. All the corners on 4th gens (95-99) are the same. So just buy the ones on ebay that you saw.

Yeah you can also keep your eyes peeled in the 4th gen classifieds section. You could get a used one for cheaper or get 1 piece headlights (cefiros) for a little more.

They will fit fine, but you will have to use the stock wiring harness with them. The harness is different between 95/96 and 97-99. Other than that, no troubles, I've bought them on ebay as well. If the price is $75, that is a little much. I think I paid around $40. Keep looking, also check procarparts.com.

well, you try and find the black corners like i got, they're hard to find and i got tired of looking for them elsewhere. the other 1's i found were completly black or fogged, and somebody said paint them. i'm not painting them plus the rubber seal is peeling away from the edges. so, i'm glad i got them, even though the dealer said their was a production date difference from 95-96 to 97-99. they said they will fit.

They fit the same but the 97-99's have clearer plastic lens' stock than the 95-96's do.

i did'nt go to dealer, i went to my buddy, who's a tech and he put them on in 2 seconds. no charge and the harness as you'll notice had to be removed to make the new harness plug up. i only have a pic of old harness and lights, i'll post a pic tomorrow of the lights.

personally i would suggest getting the one piece smoked cefiro headlights...better yet you can get the 2 piece glass smoked cefiro headlights (or just the corners by themselves) let me know if this helps.

its kinda hard...but you may have to loosen the clips to take the light apart...i have some maxima headlights, what year is yours? i can give you the clips that hold the lens to the housing if you mess up yours while trying to clean it...again i wont recommend this though unless you have taken some headlights apart before...

nope, i have'nt done that before. i was thinkin you could spray chandalier cleaner into the lights and they would drip dry inside the lens. only problem is gettin the excess cleaner out of the bottom of the lens. any way to clean them while still together???
