Can anyone tell me where I can get smoked corners and side markers for my car?

www.bavauto.com has them, but I have to warn you that the inpros are pretty bad.
Both of my corners blew off the side of my car. They're just not as sturdy as OEM. -
My clear corners and sides are from Bav Auto and I have never really had a problem in the 2-3 years that I have had them.Comment

Custom: did you order inpros or OEM? Because OEM are OEM no matter where you get them, but inpros are garbage if you live in a hotter state.
I think that's the big problem. The plastic pins get really pliable when it's like 100 degrees out in texas and the corners will just get sucked out the side of your car.
It might just be me, but I wouldn't recommend them. If you do get them, drill a hole somewhere and tie wrap those badboys down!Comment

so astan...thanks for your remarks. I've been debating getting oem clear corners/sides/tails due to build quality. They are 100% more expensive compared to ebay items and I believe that you get what you pay for. I know that cheaper front clear corners are not legal in many states. The oem clears have a small triangular reflector on the side where it wraps into the front fender. These make it legal. From minor research, very very very few generics will have it. My two cents.
PS: I'm going w/ stock ambers for now. Gotta save for an inspection IIComment

Actually...REAL OEM fronts don't have that reflecting triangle like the ambers do. They are uniform all around. So, the cheap asian knockoffs may be more legal than the real OEM clears.
edit: In general though, no one will care.Comment
