Default New edition

Here is a pic of one of the things I was talking about in the last post.
I ordered the headlights and parking lights on May 2nd. Didn't get the headlights till 2 weeks later and didn't receive the corners. It took 3 e-mails just to get the headlights.
Now I sent another e-mail 3 days about asking about the corners and still didn't hear back yet.

So here is the pic.
Hopefully soon I will have a good pic with the corner lights as well.

Hey now Tech,

What about the purchase of the lights do you think was a mistake? [sm=smiley13.gif]

I am still considering getting a pair with the clear corners.

I have a 1994 850 Estate, The Anvil, and just after I got it I was looking for all sorts of things for it then the car started needing everything from front to back.

I still would reallylikea set like those, but, with the chrome backing and an H.I.D. conversion kit as they look sooo sweetwhen you complete the replacement.

So tell me what's wrong with them?

Well the headlights look ok.
But they just refunded the money for the clear corners because they don't have any in stock.
Not I have to look somewhere else for a set. Atleast I will be able to get a set with the black inside that will match the headlights.

You could perhaps soak the originals in bleach and make them look.....

Headlights look good, the turn signals need to match though for sure.

Fix the bumper, paint the trim, get the matching turn signals and you will be looking real good.

Look closer on the trim already did that last weekend.
I did it Gray like the OEM. Picked up the wrong can but decided to go with it anyways.
