well i made a mold peice of the corner light to see how close it was to my stock fender and i must say its damn close so that makes me happy lol only thing that doesnt look to good is it seems as if ill have to cut of the bracket on the inside of the fender that have my headlight brackets on which sucks....anyways heres some pics
the FG peices

and the fitting

I'm not gonna try to be one of those people who see something new and claim it as mine, but when I was looking at lamps for my swap I considered doing the corners too... I almost bought them to try it out cause it looked so close but then I had other things to do instead so bumped the project. I figure if you do a little cutting and bondoing it'll look stock with them. let me know how it works out incase I ever decide to follow up on your progress.

^^^wow so i really cant spell HAHAHAHA

well i cut apart the fender and got teh light somewhat in there,im gonna start galssin soon to see what i can come up with,but i think im goin at this the wrong way as the corner light slides onto the headlihgt so i should probably install hte headlights perfect then worry about gettin the corner light in,but as u can see it fits the curves quite nicely

thats because the BMW used a basic projection system... nothing complacated, but effective. plus each bulb is in a seperate sealed housing.

did u use the the instructions i gave you (as vauge as they were) or did u go with a different method. i'd like to see pics of the mounting install.

i went with a different direction as i needed to keep the BMW bracket attached to the lights as thats how teh corner lgihts go on aswell(snap into place) i can grab a pic tommorow when i goto finishe the other 1 up

well i only ahve 1 bracket installed as im gonna wait till i head out to the shop to cut up my fender for the BMW corners,but its a 1/8" peice of steel and the lgiht does not move at all with the 1 bracket that i used.as u can see i used the stock BMW bracket on hte bottom and connected it to a little bar that used to be used to fasten the cavy headlgiht assembly in

turned out good, do u plan on covering the top/back of the lights up so u can't see the mounting brackets/lights/wires?
