Headlights and corners

Does anyone have these ebay stock style headlights or corners? Any good? Pics with those style clears on?

I also need to figure out to install them if I get them.

I like stock style headlights, mine are faded, and you can't beat stock style corners but clear... never thought I would find them. They're perfect!

Thanks!

I do not but I can offer insight on how to install them. The corner lamps are held in by one screw on the top. Unscrew the screw and it slides out. Then you will be able to take the bulb out.

With the corners out it's easier to do the headlights at this time for you can get your hand behind to slide it out. The headlights are clipped in. Two tabs on top need to be pulled up, and then held up. Then slide the old headlight out. Adjust the new headlight assy. to match that one to get the new headlight angled right, or pretty close anyway. To reassemble do this in reverse.

Also the clear corners you are looking at I don't believe are DOT approved. I think they need to have an orange reflector. I haven't heard of anyone getting pulled over just for this but just a thought. I don't think of it being a big deal.

Preciate the how to! I looked them over real good today and what you are saying makes sense.

As far as the DOT legal issue, I'm not sure... Wouldn't seem like they would be able to sell them if it was a huge problem. I thought as long as I use the stock orange light bulb I would be ok.

The bulb definitely has to be amber colored. As in terms of being able to sell stuff for automobiles that is legal, in many states people sell window tinting and in most states tinting is illegal. Again, I don't think it's that big of a deal.

steve, I have those same corners, and kind of the same style headlight accept mine the shape of the headlight rather than circle, if that makes any sense. Very sharp.
