that. for the 5% time they are on when driving.. not worth the extra $ for ballasts.

- Fri Jun 28, 2013 11:41 am #333531 ive got black housing headlights and black housing corners on my hatch... back when i got them, amber corners were not so commonly combined with the black housing headlights..

but when they were they looked so good that i considered switching to amber/smoked amber.

honestly... im glad i decided to stick to this combo coz its not very common and it looks good to me and my friends.

i just bought these to replace the first set ive had for almost 4 years.

they are ebay but cheap and look nice to me. its all about what u want and what u like. as said above everybody does black housing/amber corners but if its what u like its what u like

:thumb:

EDIT: actually i had the regular amber corners on my car and i tinted them. but i got the ones that are already smoked for the same price and non smoked so i wont have to tint them myself.

and the only reason im getting a new set is when i got my car whoever put them on not long before hand didnt install the rubber covers to seal the lights properly and they got water in them and they have never been 100% clear since.

Thanks heaps guys
