I bought mine from Strutmasters (with ADS) for $400 including shipping. Talk to Mike at (866) 597-2397, tell him Pete in Chicago sent you.

you are correct...just ordered on thurs...you have been very helpful...one other quick question...i have purchased these clear corners from ebay but the plug on them has only 2 prongs while my car 98 s500 needs 3 prongs...the description for the corners says 92-99 but the sticker on them says for 94 w140...i have a feeling that after 96 or 98 the plugs for the corner lights changed...anyway that i can use the ones i bought to fit my car? thanks.
