That's good to hear Nick, where did you guys get the clear corner lenses? How hard was it to install your foglights in the lower valance?

I just ordered these. They were recommended in one of the build threads. These are 99 lights, aftermarket and .....GLASS, not pos plastic. They are $75 plus shipping for both L and R.

Plastic gets a white haze after a while and needs to be polished and eventually replaced. Glass breaks when rocks kick up. Your call.
Also, Tahts a GREAT price.

I got "A" condition OEM ones from car-parts from a junkyard in Pennsylvania (~100ish). you could perhaps check there if you want originals

I was in same situation but then I checked "USA" and not just Texas...texas results were giving me $100 per headlamp as well. You could do a nationwide search and get them shipped to you! I am anxiously waiting for you to start your projector retrofit man! whats taking so long!!!

ok ill check the USA one out, but oh man LOL a sadly got this email the other day.

We are sorry but part of your order is temporarily out of stock.

TRS tries to avoid backorders, but sometimes they happen due to high demand, extended lead times, customs clearance, and holidays.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Estimated Ship Date: February 25, 2011

which is ok cause im pretty sure im going to order a 2nd pair of lights so i can play with them a little before i finalize the project. I've built some corner pieces and chromed them so the Amber LED stips will look good in the headlights (not ricey) ill update my thread when i get everything though

You should be fine using your stock 97 corners with the 99+ lights. I will let you know for sure in a couple hours when I start to install mine.

Well took me just over an hour to change them out, most of that was messing with the grill clips trying not to break them. The 99+ fit just fine with the 98- corners, which I was sure they would. I will post pics when I get a chance. I need to aim them still and was bummed I finished before the sun went down. Oh and I got the Depo ones from Certifit.
