I'm sure that if you (or whomever) made a whole bunch of 'em they'd sell, but you have to consider how many people are actually willing to open their headlights to install the clear corners. I think a better bet would be to sell OEM head lights with clear sidemarkers already installed.

Yeah, I just think that'd be a better route. But I don't need clear side markers. I'm happy with mine.

i would - but then again i wouldnt take apart my headlight to put them in either...so im all for the idea of selling the lights with them already in there...but that would take a bunch of lights so...shizzel!

An exchange program! Actually, that'd get pricey. I'd like some clear corners.

yea for the price people would just have to gather the ***** to put their headlights in an oven for 15 minutes at 220 degrees and follow the great write up that Preston has under the tech section (its either under angel eyes or unmitza dde install).

its one of the easiest things, easier then doin an exhaust or installing a radio.

its pie.

sell the clear corners and include instructions on how to install them for the people who dont know.

hell you sell them and ill make directions for you.

and if you really want to do well. add a tube of silicone in with the corners so people can seal them, and then say use supplied silicone to reseal the headlights, that way if they fog up on someone they cant get ____ed at you

yea core exchange would not be profitable...

I mean how much more would someone pay for clear corners??

I saw gonna run a full core exchange on whatever people wanted, smoked corners, painted housing (any color, even OEM paint), full smoked exterior, halos (basically anything except projector retrofitting) and then people were being redciulous with pricing and trying to get stock tails was pretty expensive.

Plus if someone wanted the ebay heads I would have to have them in stock too. So it's just easier for people to send me there stuff and do it...

That's some of the reasons why a core ex. would not work out for something like this, if it wouldn't work out when I was trying to basically to fully custom headlights how is it gonna be profitable just for clear corners.

I think some people would buy clear corners and I would even be willing to get you some business from people on here who want clear corners, but the price would have to be decent (I mean it is just two pieces of plactic afterall). I think $30 for a shpiped set would get a bunch of buys, and like I said I could probably get you some business as I would rather just get ones that pop right in for $30 rather than custom fabricate them myself.

Hopefully someone brings them to the market cuz I'm sure they would sell...
