clear corners

i'm sure this has been asked a billion times before, but where can one get bloody clear corners for a 99 proto?

Talking

Hey,
There are several options for clear corners. you can go to corksport.com and get the J-spec ones for like a 100 dollars or you can go to www.nopionline.com and get the same clear corners for 50.00 by APC.

the 99 and 01 corners are different. I think you're talking about the one-piece headlights TheMAN. the 99-00's have two pieces. I could be wrong in what you're talking about, if so... I'll shutup! www.procarparts.com has them as well, and www.corksport.com

I've also been wanting to get clear corners for my 99 Protege. But the only thing holding me back is the difference in color of plastic on the clear corners, compared to the color of the plastic used on the headlights.

Is there not one out there that matches? I've emailed procarparts, but didn't get a response.

I've seen a difference in fitment btwn the J-SPEC and APC lights. The J-SPEC light fit alot better. There is no gap like with the APC light. I believe that Mazda products are better quality than the APC. Yes they may be a little more costly but as I always say...."buy the best you can." You may regret it later if you don't.

Does anyone have any pictures of the J-SPEC ones from corksport??

The APC ones are like this (below), but I don't think the color matches with the headlights.

Trust me you want to get the Corksport "TRUE" JDM lights. They are built better and fit better. I think they are worth the extra money. As for pics of them...Go to Protegetech.com and look under links. Go to GroHarlems page. Look under MIR pics and there should be some pics of my car with them on. If the headlights look like dual projectors then that is a pic AFTER I did the Sport 20 headlight. Those are not the JDM clear corners. Think that there are ppics of both tho.


Look for a Midnight blue '00 Pro Sport 20 Sedan.

I know its a bit long but hope this helps.

Jeremy

Is this your car (or the clear corners you're talking about?)

Yeah these clear corners look great. Better than the ones I've seen.

But there seems to be a SLIGHT difference in color of the plastic. Hmmm... maybe I'm being picky tho..

Thats my baby alright. The corners will not look as clear as the headlights just because of the different angled faces on the inside of the light that make it shine light in more directions than one. Believe me tho they are clear and you will not be dissatified with them. They look better in person. As for the yellow reflector that someone was talking about...there isn't one. That is the amber bulb inside the light. You can swap them out for clear bulbs. I got pulled over for that so I put the amber ones back in.

Like I said get the true JDM ones and you will not be dissatisfied with them. You will probably like them soo much that itll be the only thing you look at walking up to your car. They look great.


Good luck

This is a example of clear corners that I DON'T want, and don't think match up very well

Sorry to inform you but that body kit is on a car that Mazda used as a show car. The APC car has the same body kit. It is NOT for sale. Just take the canter grille out of your P5 if the yever make a turbo and intercooler
