clear corner lights
 
has anyone gotten their hands on some clear or black front corner light. I found the sidemarkers i want but I dont see any replacement for the fronts and if i cant get those im gonna scrap the idea, because it wont look right. I watch to have the same theme that i have on the cougar. I also want to do the mesh (black of course) then im gonna leave it alone. All i need is the clear corner....any help appreciated in advance

I bought my front side repeaters for less than 40-50 shipped. The guy no longer has them on ebay...there are still some on there I think but I couldn't find them last time someone was looking....jim should be able to find them. Personally I'd get some nightshade and some clear coat and paint em up! Here are my taillights nightshaded and cleared and the middle of the rear of the car with black spray paint and clear done by me at home...didn't look too bad in person...

Ok so the picture didn't come out clear but should give an idea...

The nightshade stuff is awesome because it still allows light to come through...me personally I'd still want light to come through that front light...

Is it the clear side repeaters that you're lookin for Cougar? If so, let me know bud.

100% now mate.......sorta a cross between :)+ [&:]but I'll be swapping it over tom orrow around 4 o clock

The Chrome rims have been refurbed and some minor stonechips dealt with as well as a full service / valet and the usual pdi so it should all be good!

The clear have gone with the X but the amber ones are there for anyone that wants them. If he wants clear and I suspect he doea I'm sure we can find them no probs..

How goes it with you Aquill.............don't seem to hear much from you anymore these days? Are you about to trade yours in as you thought for a SUV bigger family type vehicle?

I've been around a bit lately...just haven't run across you! I was a little busy over last week though my grandpa is in the hospital had a triple bypass done yesterday. Yeah I'll be trying to get rid of it sometime soon but I've been busy. Gotta get rid of my escape as well though but busy as well! Yeah this is what I'm looking at...2 tone leather, hopefully v6 to save a mpg or 2, want 4wd but only has awd for the most part, 6 disc cd changer (audiophile system which comes with 7 speakers incl. 8" sub in rear.)

We're looking at finding one in the color above, black or silver as they are generally the nicest looking...the burgundy color is also a possibility...Oh yeah forgot about the pearl but that is highly unlikely as the price on those are generally higher than others...same as black they are really high for some reason...

I can find the side. Ebay has smoked and clear and ebay UK has crystal Black(which looks great) I just dont want to add any more black(which I did on the cougar). Im looking for the front repeaters. Because If im gonna do the sides i want the front to match.

I seriously haven't seen anything for the marker lights only the side repeaters. I think 04x or someone had some vinyl covers made for their marker lights...personally I'd nightshade them and go about it that way...the light will shill come through but it wont stick out like a sore thumb with bright orange or red...

I guess anythings possible if you don't mind parting with $$$ to get it done or are very ingenious and come up with sumthin yourself?
There's been quite a few members asked about this. Who knows, maybe there's a market out there?

Anyway

Good luck

I'll keep this at the back of my mind and if anything jumps out at me I'll come back to you Cougar
