Clear corner blinkers?

Cavpilot2k · 09-10-2014, 07:56 AM

I know, I know, use search...
But that has really gotten my nowhere, so I am looking for a replacement, preferably OEM (I think they have them in Europe) for the orange front corner turn signal glass. They really screw up the look of the vehicle, IMO, so I am looking for clear/white/etc.

A while back, I did see someone link to some European ones but they were like $800 or something, which is obscene for what should be a $100 part.

Any thoughts?

Yeah all of the 1 series out here are clear corner blinkers. I agree, they make it look outdated and tacky. Good luck on your search!

If you're talking about the headlights, you'll have to replace yours with EU spec headlights to have clear corners.
You can't get the corners alone, and I don't think many people want to sell their Euro headlights for cheap.

That is what I am referring to. No aftermarket support? I'm surprised by that.
And you're pretty sure it has to be the whole headlight assembly?

Not unless you have halogen headlights. Halogen headlights have an aftermarket option - DEPO headlights, they're the most "OEM" looking and have clear corners.
Yes, it has to be the whole headlight assembly.

I hate sounding like a complete noob, but I don't honestly know what my lights are (halogen or no). Do halogens come with any particular MYs or packages, or are they strictly an aftermarket mod?
