Default Clear Corner's How Much Would You Pay?

Ok people if you could get the clear corner inserts, How much would you spend?



Basicly Ive tried Three times to get clear corners to make just the lens. They are saying each one is hand made blah blah . Basicly I want to get this topic started and get all the people in here that would want to purchase these and how much they would pay for them. So if you want these please list a fair price you think for this product. Also shoot and email over to Clear Corners requesting this item. Maybe if they see how many sales they could make we can get the ball rolling.


Email for Clear Corners is contact@clearcorners.com

Not that much... I don't mind the look right now. I'd have to see an SSM with it first. I think it has the potential to look really nice, but I wouldn't pay too much for it since it would likely just be another piece of plastic.

most i would pay is 20 bucks. seriously. it does improve the look a lot but its not worth anything more than 20 bucks.

putting an overlay is the other alternative if you hate the amber color. i think it looks better with an overlay rather than a clear corner

$400 for a full set of OEM lights with the clear corners. That's how much I would pay so I wouldn't have to do that PITA install of taking the headlights apart etc. If I had to do the install myself, I would say $40-50.

Its not worth more than 20 dollars...look for clear corners on ebay.
If they are around that price I'll be the first with them on the car.

For anything around that price or more, I'd like a set of projectors (HID?) or xenons... in all new housings with the clear corner.

$20 is really pushing it for easy-to-make piece of plastic.

The headlights themselves are going to cost more than $400 if they come through SCION. Then add the cheap clear reflector and it's reasonable. HIDs will run around $300 for quality and then the projectors are expensive too, for a full on HID/Projector/Headlight Assembly with the clear corner, it would be closer to $1,000. $400 is a reasonable price for headlight housings that are equal quality to what we have, fit perfectly, and have the clear corners installed.

Ya... I'm thinking more of "if i'm going to spend a few hundred on new housings... i might as well spend a bit more and get what i want" ...

That's what I'd prefer anyways.

DIY for me. And for those requesting $20.. Do you want something thats gonna look nice...or like crap. You get what you pay for and something this new and rare, you arent gonna find cheap. The tooling and molding required to make these will cost a lot more than you think and if you want to be one of the few to get it now you will have to pay for it. I am willing to pay a little more to have something unique that looks really nice.

overlay now, possible buy later. I don't really think it looks all that bad. Besides, give it another year or so, and they will have so many parts for us....we could all build a new tC!!

Woot! Holla!

I have overlays and they look good, but its only a band-aid......I dont like to wear band-aids very long. I personally dont want to wait a year to buy something everybody else already has.

i originally disliked the amber corner marker and had seriously considered buying the entire light, but then realized that if i went all yellow with the lights as opposed to blue or white it looked great.

I got your clear corner right here...

Less than $17.00 off Cardomain, chromed bulbs. Please don't make me post a how-to.

As far as 'clear cornering' or cutting out the reflectors in the headlights, I'm sure it's simple enough, but I'd rather pay 10.00 on a fix-it ticket than 600.00+ for a set of new headlights.
