for darker cars i like the chrome diamond cut bumper lenses, but for lighter colors i think the clear diamond cut bumper lenses look awesome

Chrome diamond cut and Clear diamond cut???? i didnt know there were chrome diamond cut how do they look like.... are u sure u dont mean diamond cut clears and conventional cloudy/non diamond cut clears.

id prefer a dark color car like mine, or black, or deep evergreen, or the dark blue with black JDM corners, and diamond cut on lighter cars esp white and silver cars.

For dark colors, get smoked corners. For light colored cars, get Diamond cut clear corners.

how do you guys secure the lights? the way it is now, anybody can walk up to it and pry the back piece out and unscrew the front piece... or do you guys just hope nobody will steal yours?

For 95-96 with glass lens, use regular bumper clears.

For 97-99 headlamps with plastic cover, use diamond cut bumper clears.

For legality, use amber bulbs in sidemarkers ... hopefully, you'll be spared.


The sidemarker piece is attached to the turn piece through a ball socket. If they are loose, try wrapping the stud with a little bit of tape, it will hold.

To secure:
- if you have an unthreaded stud, you will have to replace it with a threaded stud first, then use a nut and secure from the inside. Only problem is that if you're unlucky and they get ****ed, they could damage your body panels and wiring harness.

IMO, I never liked diamond cut front lesnes. the clear looking plastic looks cheap and too "apc" like

where is this unthreaded stud you talk about. i think the last time i checked mine the back piece just clips in between the front piece and the bumper. mine is a 96 btw. i will have to check again but i swear i don't recall seeing any studs.

that stud is screwed into the side marker and is snapped into the bumper clip piece. if you replace that stud with a threaded one then you can use a nut and secure the clear corners so you cant pop them off.

I prefer not do that since if someone were to try to steal my clear corners, I much rather have them pop them all off clean and easy and steal them than them using a screwdriver and try to pry them off and mess up the paint on the bumper. much cheaper to replace the clear corners than have a shop repaint the bumper
