Default JDM Clear Corners

Hey i bought these JDM Clear corners for a 94 accord and was trying to install them but It looks like i need to cut into the frame for them to fit. Does anyone have advise or pics or install before i try.

they should fit right in...as long as they are made for a 94-97 (CD) accord...there is need to cut...can you post a pic of the marker (corner) lights you have....but again...if the marker lights you have a made for a 94-97 they should swap easy...

Yeah, you need to completely lop off that corner piece of the headlight assembly (cut the 2 pieces that make that L shape)

Yep that's all I cut off, those side pieces that wrap around, it's kinda an awkward fit and you gotta jiggle them a bit to get them in but they're fine I had to redrill the holes on both sides to get them to look straight

No it's that large hump in the plastic on the back of the light, it hits that support piece for the corner lights so you chop that off and you're good to go

Lol yeah I might have worded it funny, you cut off the BLACK HOUSING for them, that the headlights mount to, it's 2 pieces that make a u shape, top bottom and little back piece you chop off that L piece if you look at that pic, the piece I'm referring to is that black part on the left, you chop all that off and the lights will fit. The hump on the back of the light hits that and won't screw in. As to where to buy them, I got mine from: http://www.topendmotorsports.c....html
