I'm pretty sure that procartparts.com has recently started carrying them, assuming everyone else hasn't already bought them. They are $50.

ouch

bought from ProCarParts.com last night, corners were only $39.99 but then they tag on $3.30 tax and $13.90... I think the S&H is a bit much but it is easier then spending weeks hunting for $5

Got Mine at Supercoupe Performance

But I'm sending them back!

They look great, but they have a gap at the bottom of the lamp between the lamp and the bumper.

They are different than the stock which has a lip on the bottom of the lamp to cover that area.

I'll post some pics this evening before I pull them off.

I'd be interested if anyone else is having the same problem.

Pictures will be forthcoming..

I'm at work now, but when I get home, I'll post multiple photo's of the gaps and the bottoms of the stock vs. clear lamps. It will be a few hours....

Don't Mention Getting Sideways...

ha ha ha ... this weekend I learned the following:

Bottles of beer, 460 BBF cast iron exhaust manifolds, and power slides don’t go together very well. I had the beer and manifolds in the trunk and forgot they were there…. It was a nice power slide though! Oh well the trunk needed cleaning anyway!!!

First time in months buying beer and I have to ruin 3 bottles… Talk about alcohol abuse..

Photos:

Here are 4 photographs of OEM and Clear.

You will notice the small mismatch between the corners and the headlights. But what I found out is that even the OEM has a large gap between the bumper and the lamp. Just not as noticeable. The Clears are only about 1/4 shorter than OEM.

What do you guys think? Keep the Clear or install new OEM?









I like the clear corners, but the mismatch is really bugging me!

I didn't really notice the difference. Plus they don't hold water like my stock ones did.

When taking the passenger side off I found out why, the lense was held on by just a bit of sealant along the bottom.. popped right off when I dropped it (oops). The clears were cheaper than the stockers. I got mine from SCPerformance.

I bought the new headlamps because mine were yellow. But the second I put them on, I called procarparts to get clearcorners, because the stock corners looked very bad. The clear part of the stock corners looked very yellow compared to the new lights, and looked mismatched completely. Here's some pics of the finished product, very nice.

My next tbird will get the same treatment, and a hid conversion for sure.

Now that is a lot of money to spend on something that isn't DOT legal.

There are so many technicalities out there when it comes to DOT legality. Clear corners in general are not dot legal, nor are many aftermarket headlamp assemblies used on cars every day.

The xenon charged bulbs I am running now, are not dot legal.
Nor, are the foglamps on my VW Jetta.
Practically any headlight assembly used overseas, and not used in the united states is not DOT legal.

Technically, it would not be DOT legal to put xenon bulbs from a lincoln mark 8 in your thunderbird because your vehicle was not originally equipped with those bulbs.

When its a question of safety, I will use approved DOT parts. When it is not, I will not.

Hey now, HID's work really well with our headlights especially since our beam pattern is very sporty if you know what i mean. Don't get a high color temp though, just got pulled over. Nothing over 5400k!!! when the cop pulled me, in no way did he complain about blindness or incorrect beam angle.
