Clear Corner lights getting wet!!

Hi guys,

I just got a pair of clear corner lenses from ebay (big mistake). After some minor adjustment I got them to snap in to place fine. The problem now is that everytime it rains, water gets inside the lenses. Is this common with the cheap clear corners? I have seen many posts suggesting the JDM clear corners.

I would say that's pretty common with most aftermarket light assemblies. Go with the JDM. They are only like $25 anyhow.

I have a set of clear corners for my just traded 2004 G35 sedan that I will sell for $25 plus shipping to your location. Let me know if you are interested. I was going to Ebay them, but I wanted to offer them on the site first, and this sounds like the best place to start.

You make it sound like I am trying to rip someone off! I paid $50 for these things three years ago.

If that is what the going rate is, that is what I will charge. I am not looking to make a profit off of anyone, I just want them to go to a good owner who will take care of them.

^^im not sounding like anything...stop assuming...even a post at top said the jdm ones were $25...and it's brand new...

yeah..hopefully you will get a buyer which is a "good owner who will take care of them"...

He is right, I paid ~$40 for mine last year. A lot of people do this when they first get their G, before they find out about Chad and his great prices. Doubt he was trying to rip anyone off.
