Default Clear Corners?

Where are you all getting them? I checked 6LE thinking he would have them but No dice. I bought a pair off ebay and less than 6 months later they are all fogged up and ****. It looks like **** so I need a good quality pair!

Get a set from ebay seller neondials. They have the better quality ones.

Basically 90% of the corners on there are the crappy leaky melty ones. The ones that neondials carries are better quality plastic, have a heat shield in them, and actually seal the lenses also.

I think a lot of the ebay ones are luck of the draw. Quality control is poor. If the seller mentioned has good reviews, best to try them.

Yea, quality is one thing. If your getting moisture, you need to get a hair dryer / heat guy, and dry the **** out of the lense and inside bucket that holds the bulb, any residual moisture will come back otherwise.

Had that with heads lights in my buick. Spent 2 hours with a hair dry making it ultra dry.

You want these. They are made by depot. Search depo on ebay and you will see them.

OK so I got the lights from neondials. Do I need to seal these or anything else before I install them?

It wouldn't hurt to run some silicone around the whole edge if you want to be sure I guess, but I never did.

I got mine off ebay, don't recall seller but I put nice bead of clear silicone around the seal and they are 100% moisture free 3 years later.
