Default maybe clear corners?

i was looking around carparts.com and i found clear corners but im not sure if theyll fit on our cars. they said theyll fit but i dunno. and theres no pictures. im reluctant to try em. but they are only $16.95 each which is alot better than the $120 that i have been seeing. so heres the link if anyone can tell me about em. thanks again.

I just sent them an e-mail, so we'll see.

they are not corner lenses, they're side markers. the ones that go on the fenders, and blink when you turn signal.

Chrono, did you order a pair or just send the email? I'll give them a shot to see about the fitting if you havent ordered.....unless....somebody else already did?
Ahhh, then I can finally put one of those enormous APC banners on my windsheild, side windows, and under my rearview mirrors....I can't wait.

No, I only sent them an e-mail about whether those are actually for SCs. I doubt that they are for our cars. But...worth the try.

IMHO i would not put an APC product on my sc

Let me know when you hear from them... if they say they'll fit I'll try 'em out, I was gonna order some new oem spec (orange) ones from parts.com anyway so if these dont look obnoxiously noticable (or even noticable for that matter), $40 shipped is a small price to pay for two. Hell I was charging more than that to make 'em myself...

I don't think they'll fit our cars. I've seen these at my local Autozone and they are too short and too tall.

If you wanna try to make it fit somehow, it's only $16. But if you think about it, for $16, you can make your own custom clear corner lenses.
