So I order these cheap amber corner lights the other day. 15.00$ doesn’t sound like a bad idea to me. Its only 15$ not much to lose, so I buy them. They come to my door and they are brand new. So I wanted to show the process of putting them on, and to show people why you should buy a nice set in the first place not these cheap ones.

Watch out this is not for beginners, very hard to change lights it involves one screw!

Step one: undo this screw on each light. Pull out the corner light and unscrew the bulbs.


Step 2: realize that these cheap eBay knockoff corner lights only have one bulb socket where as my stock one has two.





Next decide if you want your lights to blink when your blinkers are on, or stay lit at night. I chose them to be on at night when my lights are on. My bumper lights blink anyway.

Step 3: look at how bad these lights look as you set them in place.


Step 4: think that a little paint might help these junky lights out. I used some kind of spray can that was called bumper color. I forget what brand. I roughed up the surface a little before painting.



Step 5: put in the new lights. Place the corner light into all of the tabs on the fender. Then screw the single screw in. then look back at all the hassle you just had for some 15$ lights.

 

i got ambers like those but a little bit darker on ebay....they came out to be $9.95 plus shipping it came out to be like $18.00. they are really good.

 

i wish i would have got darker ones. i love the smoked amber style but they would look bad on my car.

 

My ebay amber corners had both light sockets, they work fine and were cheaper than OEM (why I bought them)

 

I'm confused already... How did you get that screw out? lol, I wish I wasnt so lazy to simply change the light bucket to a 90-91, I got the 89ers and they suck for removing "jiggle jiggle pull pull! they can be a bitch sometimes.
Dont really like the 2 screws on the outside..
Man is theres alot of choices for the 90-91 models, 88,89 ones are limited to fugly ones. Might find the odd decent one.
Dude those auto X wheels look tiiight! buddys got the same on his frosty white rex... Good job with those lights, and now the trim is black I like them even more.

 

i thought that the real "jdm" corner lights only has one socket and the other was on the fender and the one that i decided to go with stays on when the lights are on and blinks when the signal is on

also i have ambers on mine and they look good (imo) there not the ones that has the crome inside and really clear orange these are mine

sick crx! what kind of fog lights do you have? and is that the chargespeed front lip??? looking at your crx makes me regret not buying the amber bumper lights. they look very good on your car.

 

thanks man the fogs are not on the car anymore due to a bigger intercooler that the piping ran through the bumper and the lip is the j's racing replica from http://www.jdmshit.com you can get the fog lights at advanced autoparts for like 17 bucks to be exact here is a new pic of my car without the fogs on as u can see there isnt any room for the fogs

 

Nice rex I use to have a white one.. till someone killed it

Anyway I love my Ambers they fit better them my new in box OEM ones.. and my JDM clears.. lol

 

^ they look very good on your 4 door!

thanks for the info on the fog lights. did you have to cut your bumper to fit them? jdmshit.com has some really good deals on body parts. i might just have to order one of those lips. oh by the way that front mount is looking really good.

 

you wasted $15 to change out perfectly good working corner markers (and way better looking than full amber ones)??

wow....


could have used that money towards something worthwhile... like... gas?

yeah i had to cut out the back of the bumper just a bit so they would fit and everything and the lip was kinda expensive but i love it

your opinion, you must like the clear corner lights better. do you like big wings too? i think that the stock corner lights look much worse than these. if i would have known that these only had one light hole i wouldnt have bought them. whatever lesson learned. 15$ is pocket change, i was willing to risk 15$ to see if my car looked better. worst case scenario i would of just taken them off. but i like them...alot.

 

just so you people know, i dont think clear corners are bad. they would just look bad on my car. some cars/crx's look sick with clear corners.

 

Beauty is the eye of the beholder. i need to get some amber corner lights! anyone know where i can get oem headlights? my ef hatch came with gay halo projector lights and the corner lights are clear and it has a blue blub... gross!

 

ebay is pretty hit or miss. but you take a gamble on something so cheap. I got a set of ambers for my hatch and they are great. fit fine, 2 holes and all. also ordered a set of yellow fogs from ebay and when they sent them they were amber... turns out i liked them better anyway.

good write up though

I dunno what if its Quality parts for cheap lol

"You Get what you pay for" is my fav same meaning though

 

don't mind the ugly front end . its a serious work in progress.




the glass is colored amber, not painted.
they did come with a grill-like protector cover over half the lens but a quick dremel job took care of that.

ill take some night shots if you want them.

No, I like the OEM better. Cause I'm not a retard who spends money on replacing perfectly working lights so I can make it look worse.

Your $15 bought you crap you can't use.
My $15 bought me half my entry fee, my corner markers worked, and the car looked a helluva lot better

Before it was raped

if the headlamps were more rounded where it met the corner markers, it wouldn't look like it was haphazardly bolted to the car.

Yes, I do. that's how I get to travel to Europe and Asia... otherwise, it'd be by boat and take me weeks.

It didn't, and you now ran into an issue where you only have one slot for your corner marker...thus making that $15 kick to the nuts even more insulting.
Why don't you send me the $15, I'll take a picture of you and photoshop it on richard simmons body... I'll be happy to take it from you since you're very eager to give money to make things uglier and ineffective.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">...alot. </TD></TR></TABLE>
For the record, two words "a lot".


bottom line, don't worry about corner markers... if they work and aren't broken, why mess with it? Spend the money on something useful.

 

its his money let him waste it anyway that he wants.

No one prevented him from wasting it if he wanted, but he then posted about it on Honda Tech. It is to be expected that someone may give you some **** for doing so.
