Default 98+ amber corners on 94 ?~?~?!?!?!

okay so i bought 98+ oem amber corners and havent gotten them yet and was like yea why wouldnt they fit same **** different color right? and then i read a post about how they dont fit i remember some dude saying his 98+ corners dont fit on his 95 and wish he could make his all amber? double you tee eph mate that doesnt make sense? unless the size of the holes are different on 94-97 and 98+ i dont see why it wouldnt fit that would be lame. can anyone clarify.

yea i am not positive what the difference is on the screw holes and such but i have seen it rigged before. looks ok but its obvious that its been done, tend to be a tad crooked. IMO you should sell those and buy some 94-97 clear corners and paint em how you like. You could get away with doing that for like 25 bucks. you might actually make some money if you sell the ones you got. just an idea

the angles on the corner lenses do not match up to the angles on the bumper.. so when you go to put the 98+ into the 95 bumper.. it will not fit in.. the screw holes would line up but the lens hits the bumper before being secured in.
basically, its like a baby trying to put a circle into a square.
and no, i wouldnt suggest rigging it becuase you are chancing way too much.. the front bumper.. just do what was suggested.. sell the 98+.. get a set of 94-97 and paint them amber..

technically, they wouldnt fit perfectly unless modfied, in which you have the correct idea with the dremel. Instead of everyone telling you its different bumpers and whatnot, go out and install them , IMO id rather save myself the time and pick up some oem corners and spray them amber

That's where I got mine (I actually got some at Michaels once as well). You can buy the 94-97 clears off ebay for about $6 or so (plus shipping probably). Grab those and the stained glass paint and have a ball. Make sure you clear them as well. good luck.

They make orange bumper lights for the 94-97 if you dont want to paint anything. My corners were in bad shape anyway and decided to buy these. They are a little pricey tho, 60 bucks.
