Hi all,

I am thinking about purchasing clear corner lenses for my coupe from Autodynamic.com and I was wondering if these bulbs (194/168 Super White Bulb
Product ID: 194-168-WHITE)
Price: $2.00
would be right for the side markers How do you think it will look like?


Thanks

Rotty

Yes, 194 is the right number. I put Eaglite Max 194 5w on my corners and I love how it looks. You might want to check out midnightmoose.com. They have alot of good products at reasonable prices.

Im in the same boat, I got a pair of clear bumper lenses and looking for bulbs. Can you guys recomend a bulb that is clear but flashes orange like the stock ones?

I have the clear lenses with amber bulbs behind. The facets in the clear lenses hide the fact that the bulb is amber, unless you get on your knees and look through the itty-bitty clear rectangular window in the lens directly at the bulb... then you can see it's amber. You might like standard 194A's (amber) just fine.

But if you gotta have the clear bulbs that flash amber, then you gotta search around... or lightly dust the amber bulbs with silver spray paint. Others have done this with acceptable results.

Thanks for the info, I will probably stay with the stock bulbs then, if I see a problem I will lightly spray them then

Can't I just put a white bulb behind the clear lens? Btw, I do no mind if it's against the law

I got mine of Ebay for $24 but a few other places sell them like autodynamics.com and I think evosport.com had painted lenses

i got mine from ebay also... but keep in mind... they don't fit quite well... even though they are not falling off... but... you get what you paid for.

They all don't fit well or is it just the ones from a specific vendor?

I just found that out the hard way, the passenger side fit perfect while the driver side was loose as hell. So now I need another set, who sells a good product?

I bet the clear ones from autodynamics and the ones on eBay are all from the same manufacturer... in which case none of them will really fit that great.

Mine was the same way actually, but it wasn't that loose on the driver's side. Some clear silicon adhesive fixed it permanently with the added bonus that the clear corners cannot be easily stolen.

These aftermarket lenses do NOT always fit well... you have to "adjust" them. Some people have used a hot hair drier to soften and bend the prongs that press the unit tightly into the hole. On mine, I cut some 0.030" modelling plastic into small strips and super glued them to the prongs, which accomplished the same goal. Mine fit very tightly, now.

Also, keep in mind the bumpers on the sedans have a recess where these lenses fit, while the Coupes do not have the recess.

That's actually a really good idea. Too much work for me now that mine are stuck on firmly enough

I tried the whiter bulbs out there, but in the end (just recently actually) I fitted the Hyperwhite LED bulbs in the side markers as well. What a tremendous difference, even when compared to the Phillips BlueVision W5W bulbs! I'll have to post the pictures soon
