Default Installed Clear Corner Lights w/ pics

Just installed clear corner lights on my '03 Z. Installed with new stock bulbs (amber driving and clear parking). The stock corner lights were old, faded/clouded, had minor hairline cracks from road debris, and just plain ugly. Purchased new clear corner lights from an auction site (for $65). Haven't done the LED/Switchback lights yet, but probably coming soon (JW Motoring, a supporting vendor here at the Forum, seems to have good LED's but are out of stock right now, or else I would've gotten them).

Here they are picturs in the various modes:

Corner lights with lights off:


Corner Lights with DRL on (they are actually more of a bright yellow rather than amber as in the picture...kinda cool)


Corner lights with parking lights on:

You can also get Chrome coated Amber bulbs that do not show the "yellow/amber" bulb in there when the car is off.

Not hard at all, just make sure the car is on a ramp or jacked up (you need to get underside). As usual, take your time. Most of the bolt removal is pretty self-explanatory. There is one bolt (front side, just inside and above the brake cooling duct inlet, that holds the corner light in place can be difficult to get at since it's hard to see). Here is a link from a Forum member that has the coner light install instructions that is pretty good with pics (it's post #3).

Yep, bought them too and tried them (the chrome coated bulbs)...

Definitely blended in better when the car was off, but not as bright as the stock amber lights when the car was on.

Stock Bulbs - DRL/Turn Signal are Amber (size 4157 or 3157)
Parking Lights are clear (size 194)

Both are available in either clear or amber.
