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. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-02...spagenameZWDVW |
bought a few pairs, all leaked in water even when i tried to seal them... went back to ambers and never looked back.
|
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
|
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.
|
my ebay clears with ebay LEDs are great
|
alright then i guess I'll try my luck and buy the clears for $45 and use the stock lights
|
just make sure they are colored, unless you want it clear
|
No I want it to be clear, because smoked corners on a black car don't look good in my opinion.
|
no i mean the bulbs dude. colored bulbs
|
i'll probably use some xenon lights to replace em with . I have tons in my basement
|
xenon lights as directionals... ?
|
i dono either??
|
yeah?
|
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.
|
yes what smokingss said.
|
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.

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 |
