Default Smoked Corners

where's a good place to buy these other than ebay. I dont feel like bidding or making an ebay account at the moment, I just want to put my credit card number in and get these smoked corners. If anyone knows of a website that sells these please tell me thanks

I won mine on ebay from these exact same people. http://www.makotoautotrends.com/
They have their website but their website sells them at $35 plus shipping. I got mine on ebay for $30 plus shipping.

May be a stupid question, but do you just remove the headlights to get the corner lenses out?

You don't have to bid on the corners. You can have the "buy it now" price.

Yeah, the seal on this corners as about as good as the stockers... Its a piece. I fixed the problem by drilling a tiny hole at the bottom of the lens. I chose the very bottom of the corners where the water sits to drill the hole. No moisture since then.
