Clear Lights need advice

[Jam]

I saw these clear corners + clear bumper lights for my 94 Z on eBay for $45.00
should I go ahead and buy it?
And if I do would I be recommended to buy Xenon leds for them or keep the stockers.

bought a few pairs, all leaked in water even when i tried to seal them... went back to ambers and never looked back.

[sweetbmxrider]

like i said, its hit or miss with leaking lenses. if you leave them clear, colored stock bulbs is fine. if you night shade them, you may have to look into LED's for the turn signals. i get alota dirty looks during the day. oh well

[GP99GT]

the only true way to get them to not leak is to separate the lens from the housing and reseal it yourself...which isnt very easy

mine only leaked after i used superwhite bulbs... went through 3 sets, finally eliminated DRLs and used stock amber bulbs, never had an issue since.

[maroman88]

my ebay clears with ebay LEDs are great

[Jam]

alright then i guess I'll try my luck and buy the clears for $45 and use the stock lights

[sweetbmxrider]

just make sure they are colored, unless you want it clear

[Jam]

No I want it to be clear, because smoked corners on a black car don't look good in my opinion.

[sweetbmxrider]

no i mean the bulbs dude. colored bulbs

[Jam]

i'll probably use some xenon lights to replace em with . I have tons in my basement

[V]

xenon lights as directionals... ?

[sweetbmxrider]

i dono either??

[Jam]

yeah?

[sweetbmxrider]

xenon lights are for headlights. the gas burns at such a high temp, it produces a blue light. not exactly possible in a turn signal???

i looked at the link...

"Xenon LOOK"... yes just the "look"... hooked on phonics worked for me.

aka.. superwhites and will eventually melt the clear and your socket causing even worse leaking issues...

I sealed my front & rear clear corners with clear window silicone, let them dry in the sun for a day in the sun, never had a leak. Going on 2+ years.

[sweetbmxrider]

yes what smokingss said.

[Jam]

alright. yeah then I'll just leave the stock lights on. Wait so I have a leak in one of my tail lights. Am I supposed to detach the tail light, separate the housing from the lens, wipe it/clean it, then use an adhesive such as silicone PVC to join em.

you can do that but when i had a leaky tail light i just ran a bead of silicone like alex said around the seam and let it dry for a few hours then no more leaks. also you can use a hair dryer to get the moisture out. nice car by the way, black z28s ftw! :rofl:

[Jam]

nice car by the way, black z28s ftw! :rofl:

haha TRUE THAT!!
But I'd rather make it 100% sure that It will be leak proof. So I'll separate the housing and do it the right way

[maroman88]

be extremely careful with the taillights! i used a heat gun and was super careful and still shattered one trying to seperate them

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah ebay or junkyard that up

[bubba428]

i used regular black spray paint 2000grit sand paper and clear and blacked all my corners...they still light up but you cant see them....at all

[Jam]

so.......Clear corners LOOK AMAZING......TOO BAD eBay F**king sucks and they gave me the wrong size front corners!!!

[bubba428]

they're either for an F-body or they're not....there is no wrong size

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah seriously. wtf are u talkin about

[NJ Torque]

so.......Clear corners LOOK AMAZING......TOO BAD eBay F**king sucks and they gave me the wrong size front corners!!!

get your head out of your damn ass. do you even know how to replace corners on a fbody?

and ebay themselves sent you lenses? thats good since i don't believe ebay sells....anything.

[Jam]

The lenses aren't for a camaro in general. .... yes i know how to replace the corners on my F-Body,.....and sorry for not clarifying myself, "The lenses that I bought off of the eBay network from an individual seller."

[bubba428]

if they aren't for your car then why did you buy them?

[NJ Torque]

if they aren't for your car then why did you buy them?

:nod:

[Jam]

if they aren't for your car then why did you buy them?

The issue that I'm addressing is that the front clear corner lights that I ordered for my model Camaro were not the same lights that were sent to me. They sent me the wrong ones; I did not choose to be given an incorrect pair of clear corners.

[bubba428]

that what you get for buying from Ebay...the sellers never send the right stuff

[Jam]

I guess so. Where were you when I needed advice lol, probably on the other thread of mine criticizing me.

[bubba428]

no I was probably working on my car, or somewhere else having a life...this is just a part time gig

[Jam]

As for the tail lights separating the housing from the lenses sounds pretty risky with chipping. I'll take the advise to run a window silicone tube on the crack

[sweetbmxrider]

i still don't get how you got the wrong ones? are they third gen? or what?

[Jam]

They are meant for another car: the size is around 4" by 8" .

[bubba428]

ummmm yea dude ours are a lot bigger than the part you see, I think you got the right ones, your just surprised at how they look.....why don't you pull the old ones and see if they match?

[NJ Torque]

from my orginal question...

do you even know how to replace corners on a fbody?

[bubba428]

obviously not....he probably thinks is just 2 bolts and some duct tape...at least thats what it will be when he's done

[Jam]

obviously not....he probably thinks is just 2 bolts and some duct tape...at least thats what it will be when he's done

STFU. I know how to replace the front corners. (remove the bottom panel 10mm and 8mm remove the 3 screw on the back of the corners and you pull them out.

I received the wrong front two corners. end of story.

[bubba428]

then stop posting about it and get the right ones

[Jam]

then stop posting about it and get the right ones

I did order the right ones now; I just feel obligated to continue posting when there are ignorant comments being said.

[bubba428]

then stop posting ignorant comments...

[qwikz28]

if he ordered the lights and he knows how to put them in there is on need for this thread right?
