What are some good quality clear corners?

Looking for some help on finding some great quality clear corners for a 1996 Toyota 4Runner!

I would stay away. You never know what you are going to get from ebay, and $80 bucks for some good quality corner lenses is not bad at all. I bought them and I've been very happy.

I've got the $15 ebay specials. I've had these a couple of years and they get the job done.

I would change out the wimpy 194 bulbs and slap in some clear 921's. Checker's or any other autoparts store should have them.

I got some ebay cheapies too. $20 shipped I think. They do the job but can become slightly discolored around the edges if you dunk them in muddy water. I personally side with the "save $60" camp, but then again I am a tight wad.

I actually run orange bulbs in mine so they match my sidemarker lights when illuminated (not shown).

I got my corners and turn signals from ebay for $45 shipped for the set and after 3 years they are still perfect. You can tell the plastic is cheaper and there is a possiblilty of seal failure but even that issue is easily fixed by the buyer so I'd check an ebay set after a few months or so and check them over the years for problems but I've only known a few people that had issues with them. Even factory lights can have seal problems.

I look at it as they are just corner lights and if they do have a seal issue (which is really the only rare issue with them) it's not a calamity and they are easily fixed and I figure there's plenty of better things to spend the real money on modding my Runner.



These are the '96-'98 version and I just didn't figure it was worth upgrading when only 4Runner nerds would notice and they don't perform different.
