CLEAR CORNERS, euro or crystal clear ?

[Q_BMW]

Hey
sorry if this is too cheap for some people, infact i was shocked at the price as well.
has anyone purchased these ? which one would you guys recommend on a dark blue 4 dr 328i ?
these are the two options.
1) clear ones {HERE}

2) euro ones, a bit smoggy....kind of leaning towards this one..but not sure
{HERE}

Also, how hard is it to do myself ?
thanks

well, I'm going to give my customary warning:

those are cheap for a reason. I had some and they broke for no reason and came out of the car on the interstate. buy OE.

That said, if you really want to risk it, #1 looks better IMO.

hey
thanks for the advice el.
in that case i will try looking for ones a little better (more expensive) cuz it would suck if it did fly off.....what are OE's ? and how much do they run around ?
thanks

OEs are what bavauto, bmpd, and the dealer carry. They run about $30/light, but the quality and thickness of the retaining clip is 3 times better.

1) looks better, but I would highly recommend getting the crystal clears off of Tuner - http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detai...RODUCT_ID=J3622

if a rock hit the stock ones they would break but still ebay sucks (even though i have ebay corners on my car lol)

[Q_BMW]

haha ur funny skaw...

Hey, i think i have ebay ones(Sonar brand), they where easy to install and are not bad for the price. IMO i wouldn't pay 90 dollars for corner lights.

hey
ya i agree with u ghetto....but i dont want to fly out...will wait for a month or so and dave up maybe....seems to me like a lot of people are using ebay...despite b*tchin abt it.....good job guys.

Just use super glue if you think they gona fly out.

[RIBEMR26]

They will only fly out if you break the tabs installing them which is easy to do when your taking them out...I know because I broke the tabs on both corners taking them out for my new headlight install...now both slide in and out VERY easily.
