Aftermarket clear corner lights

Dec 01, 2004 17 Replies

Have any of you bought any on Ebay, if so, who from and what were the results.



Some of you purists may not approve, but I have the clear ones. I like them and I need to replace them. One has suffered some damage.



If any of you have bought any from a reliable source at a reasonable price, I would sure be grateful for a referral :) Quality is my main concern. The way the rubber is attached and the fit as a whole.



This is the style that I like:

Buying on Ebay is simple and a cinch... you simply never buy from anyone who has poor feedback.

Poor feedback is anyone with less that a 95% rating. (Though I try to only deal with 98.5 and above)

Feedback is the seller's life blood. And for a buyer, it gets you credibility when trying to work out problems in a transaction.

So I only buy from volume sellers or guys with a good buying record.

So should you.. That is unless you dont mind rolling dice.

If you dont like the idea of paying through on-line PayPal, almost everyone takes POSTAL money orders.

I have clear corners that I bought of ebay a few years ago. I wanted them to better match the Cobra headlights I also bought off ebay..

After replying I looked at your reference. Mine are like these :

That's the style I like. Too bad I'm broke! My headlights are in real bad condition.

Oh no Kate! Has the car killer daughter struck again?

Thanks Spike, I don't HAVE a Summit catalog. Didn't give them a change of addy when I moved. I forgot.

As far as the wallpaper joke. You've seen movies where the crazy old woman bricks the body into a wall and then plasters and paints over it....???

Watch your step there bub.

Thanks BM, I've been using eBay for nearly 5 years and have only had bad luck on two purchases. One was a set of clear corner lights. The other, a pair of interior door panels. Both issues were eventually resolved.

I am hoping that someone will have bought some and gotten a good good deal on a good product. Rather than "you get what you pay for" and gimmie a good reference for the seller they bought them from.

How do you like those Richard? I'd love to see a pic. Do you use clear bulbs in them or amber?

Thanks!

YOU ONLY GET TO BUY YOURSELF SO MANY TOYS EACH MONTH!!! Sheesh.. kids....

*wink*

No John, Kristen is safely across the country. One of the weatherstrips cracked and came loose on one of the lights. I patched it together about a year ago and forgot it till recently when it came loose again and started flapping in the wind.

Here's a picture of mine with Cobra-style headlights. I have the amber bulb. It isn't too noticeable when off, but is plenty colorful when on. No problems with inspection so far here in Texas.

I had to replace the rubber gasket recently (replaced with one from the old corners)...it's only been 3 1/2 years. The other side is doing fine.

Sorry, Kate.. I totally misread your post... as Emily used to say on SNL, "Never mind!"

OMG! I Loved her!

That was my second favorite phrase, the first being "the look" followed by "Bitch!"

Ahhhh... Edgar Allen Poe... A Premature Burial...

Just for that I won't remind you that Summit is online; )

I think they look great. I installed clear bulb this past summer and I must admit they look ever better. I can't tell from this picture
