RE: Jegs clear corner questions!?
Bl1nkage,
Don't feel like the lone ranger there buddy. I received mine from V6 Mustang on Friday, same frikken thing. They look great from straight on, but from the side, [:'(][:'(]. I sent an E Mail to V6 over the weekend, and will check for response when I get home from work. I even kept pictures at home of what was represented, and what was sent......
Oh, and the picture on their web site changed AFTER I ordered and received. I will update you when I get home....

RE: Jegs clear corner questions!?
Id check the corners, those might just be inserts.
I know mine came with some orange reflector thingys but they werent in the corners just in the box, to be honest I didnt pay that much attention.
Ill go out in the garage and see if i left them in the box.

RE: Jegs clear corner questions!?
Thanks guys for the respsonses... I really would like to get this figured out so I can install these ASAP...
The clear front lense part looks as if it will pop out. I mean there are tabs on the top and bottom, Im just afraid to pull them back too far because if they happen to break then Im screwed
* Im on the phone with Jegs right now trying to figure out what I can do about this, Ill keep you guys updated.
**Ok, I called Jegs, and they said that these are the only ones they have, and so I asked if they knew a way to get the colored reflector out and they said no, but gave me APC's number and told me to ask them. I gave them a call, but they close at 5pm, and its 6pm.. So Im gussing unless another member has an answer it will have to wait until tomorrow.

there are still some dealers with old stock. just need to hunt around.
American Products Company To Pay
$650,000 Civil Penalty For Sale of Lamps
Not Meeting Safety Standards
The U.S. Department of Transportation?s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced today that American Products Company (APC) has agreed to pay a $650,000 civil penalty as a result of its manufacture, certification, and sale of replacement lamps that did not comply with federal safety standards.
Over the past several years, APC sold various models of noncomplying replacement tail lamps, commonly sold as "clear" tail lamps or "Eurotail" lamps. Some of the non-complying models replaced red lamps and reflectors with clear ones. Others were missing side marker lamps or reflectors.
APC also sold other noncompliant replacement lighting equipment, including clear corner and bumper lenses and high-intensity discharge (HID) conversion kits. The nonconforming equipment was sold by a variety of retailers. The lamps and lenses have been the subject of four recalls covering thousands of parts.
The parts and model numbers associated with these safety recalls are listed on NHTSA?s web site, http://www.nhtsa.gov/ under the recall numbers 99E-039, 00E-078, 01E-035 and 03E-014. Part and model numbers are located either on the lamps or on the packaging in which the lamps were sold. Consumers with questions about this or any other safety recall campaign should call NHTSA?s toll-free Auto Safety Hotline, (888) 327-4236.
