they do fit... but just MIGHT need a slight adjustment (maybe file sum plastic down like i had to)...then it would be fine

oh yeah other thing is to seal them up with silicone or else you might wake up one morning and find condensation in the lens :evil: this is a real simple task to do...

what can you expect from aftermarket parts :lol:


fair warning: this is more of a newbie question so feel free to PM me if you have any issues, otherwise you might get clowned by sum vet members on here :lol:

Okay, I've heard that the clear corners you can buy are for the Gen1 only, not the 1.5. I'm in Air Force dorms so all I have is a microwave, or I'd make my own. Is there truth to the fit rumor?

Aftermarket Clears = Gen1 only.

Gen 1.5 or 2 can only be made by yourself. I don't think Ive ever seen them done on a 1.5 though.

I can vouch for the euro clear corners. I got a set on ebay and they are very good so far. Just needed a lil crazy glue to keep the rubber weather strip attached, oher than that they are fine.

and get a decent chrome amber bulb! i will do that soon as well.

Got a set of silverstars put in, looks so much better. Signal brightness is about the same intensity as stock bulbs which I thought were very good. Its got a blue thing to it during the day, at dusk its looks blue-orange-yellow mixed (cant describe too well, you have to see them in person) then at night it looks like multicolored with upper spectrum rainbow color reflecting from the back of the euro corner housing.

They made me go :o . Get em now

They do look good on white solaras. Not sure about any other colors. I wasnt too crazy about them on my car.

The following page has them on my black car, with euro corners, not the clears. I didnt like them at all with clear corners.

Heres them with clear corners on my friends white solara. Look sharp on that one.
