ok, im getting really frustrated here. there is (to my knowledge) only one company "RACING GUYS" right now that have offered this 95-99 clear corner lense. its completely clear-no "hatching" in the lense like all the others. these guys had them on ebay, i purchased a set and they have sent me the wrong ones twice. they have also said their waiting on a shipment from asia which they THINK might have the right ones on it. i really dont want to have to deal with a guess. so... my question is, is their ANY OTHER company's out there right now selling these EXACT corners?
i havnt seen them on too many cars on this website, so im hoping somebody can help me out.
thanks a lot.
ps, ive searched through every single ebay listing for these corners, not even RACING GUYS has them listed any longer.
when i had my 96 headlights i found makatoauto or something on ebay. That style is the style APC made(makes?)
bought 2 set from them, they were like 35 shipped a set but i think looked the best compared to the ones with teh clear reflectors. Ill host some pics for ya if u wanna see em?
^^Youre right Stephen. I'm pretty sure they were made by APC and Makoto Auto Trends carried them, but I checked their site earlier and it says they are out of stock (guessing it could have something to do with APC closing?).
^^(directed to micah lol) thats what i was thinking, MakotoAutoTrends only sells them with the clear reflectors now..the two sets i had were made by APC, so them being out of business is prolly why. Z yaaa, if i were u, contact Jason at A+Performance, he might have some in stock that he hasnt gotten rid of yet.
btw zyaaa i got a couple pics hosting. dialup takes a while

lmfao and so is mantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz hahahaha
btw man, THOSE are the ones im wanting!! lol, so APC huh. hmmmm maybe that is why its so damn hard to find them now, seeing as how there closed up n all.
i wish the outside edge thats chrome was black
IMO that chrome edge doesnt flow well with the headlights, thats another reason i wanted them, as you can see from the pic i posted from racing guys on ebay ^^^... that edge IS indeed black, but ive never seen a set yet that the edge was black, except for the ebay pic. i would paint it, but that bottom corner of the upper lense covers up some of it and i dont see how you could do it right without taking the entire upper lense off
philly... u have a PM.

if u want to paint the black border u can take apart the corners.. i tried doing my first set to paint em black when they stopped making em.. needless to say thats why i had to order my second set but anyway the second one i managed to get right, first one i just used to much heat., they can be taken apart fairly easy and u can paint that section u want. If i were u i would use some plastic interior panel tools to pry the lense off, and just heat for about 250degrees at 5-10min. should be able to get do that, might be riskin it. but i think for such a small detail u notice, one u do that and no one else have that, itll make u appreciate ur corners and the work u did for the small detail.. but makes a noticable difference.
Made 95-99 Black Clear Corners...Sacrificed 1...
I had these same clear corners(APC) for a few years, and I didn't like that chrome edging either. It makes the corners look taller than the headlights & it doesn't look right at all. Even though some of the pictures that you see on eBay look like the edging is black, it's actually chrome.....the camera glare just makes the chrome look black in the pics.
So before I installed them, I painted that edging flat black. I just completely masked off the entire clear lens, and I made sure I tucked the tape up underneath the edges of the lens so paint wouldn't get on the back side of the lens. Once I was done, they matched up perfectly with my chrome projectors, and I didn't have to remove the lenses & risk damaging them.
i bought mine back in summer of 2005. just went down to Autozone, grabbed the APC book, and ordered the "Euro Clear Corners". costed me like $25 i believe. was the same thing for the bumper lenses.
