Default Bought some clear corners...

My passenger side corner light had been cracked for a good six years and I just never made it a priority to fix it. About a year ago it started filling with water every time it rained and it was shorting out my blinker.

I was going to purchase some OEM repacement lenses but they cost between $30-50 each. I found a pair of clear corner lenses on Ebay from a place called Gtracers for $29.99 shipped. They are very good quality lenses and they mounted up nice and flush.

Never mind my cheap bumper refinish or the faded headlights. I'm working on replacing the headlights and I've already ordered a bra for the front.

Did you put amber bulbs in them?

use some plastic polish rubbing compound on the headlight lenses.. you'd be amazed at how clear you can get them with about 3 minutes of elbow grease. They sell an bulb that looks like a blu-ish metalic color when off, but when its on its amber. On clear marker lights that aren't turned on, I think it looks better if you don't have a yellow bulb in them .

I just left the amber bulbs in there. AS you can see, they are almost undetectable.

I've seen advertisements for that headlight cleaner stuff but I've never tried it. I need to give that a go.

My bra came in tonight and I got it installed in about 30 minutes. The driver's side is not 100% clipped on. It's down near 32 here tonight and I don't want to rip the vinyl.

JH, May I know what is the bra for? Protection against stone chips? We don't have those here in my country.
