Smoked NON-clear corner headlights?
Do any of you have them? If so, do you like them?
I had some smoked clear corners but sold them. I actually prefer the amber for some reason. The clear corners just look awkward to me. Reason I'm looking for more headlights is because my stockers are starting to look like death. They're pealing, faded and scratched up so I thought it would be a good time to get new ones since I'm probably going to replace my fog lights too.
I'm more concerned with fitment. Those smoked clear corners I had fit like ****. I keep looking at picture of them on AM but pictures don't do smoked lights justice because my smoked clear corners were much darker than in the pictures.

Yeah I prefer OEM so the chances of good fitment are a little higher. My smoked clear corners I got off ebay wouldn't sit flush with the bumper and I just couldn't seal them properly it seems.

if i were you, i'd bring your original lights to a paint shop and have them sand them down and spray them with black mixed with clearcoat. its your best bet since they'd fit perfect and have ambers corners...and they'll also have the dark smoked look. it will probably run you between like 50-100 bucks depending on the paint shop.

I stumbled upon that seller last night. Have you gotten them yet? If so, how did they fit? The problem I had with my smoked clear corners that I got off ebay (same as the ones from AM) was that they just would not sit flush with the bumper.
