I got them within a week from this seller, and it cost me only $5. I bought plain old Silverstar 3157 bulbs for the directionals. I wish they didn't have the bluish tint, but they look better than yolks. Hope this helps.

I recently went ahead and replaced the amber corner lenses with the new clear one with the stealth bulbs. While at it I added the CDC matte black chin spoiler, very reminicent of the Mach 1 spoiler. I think the spoiler is mildly aggressive and the clear marker lenses look great, really worth while.
First, a couple of shots before....

And now, with the clear corner lenses, stealth bulbs, and CDC chin spoiler...

Thumbs down



Ya gotta love Jegs High Performance...

I ordered my APC clear turn signals from them, prominently listed on the website is "FREEEEE SHIPPING!!!!"

Placed my order, go to check out, and I find a $10.99 "Handling Charge" tacked on to my bill!!!

WTF is a "Handling Charge" if not shipping????

Guess I will keep looking to get my clears. Any input?

Sounds like BS to me.

I guess I really lucked out. No shipping, no handling.

HERE is a picture of the one from NewEdgePerformance that I got, against the stock set.
The housing is white.
Also in the picture I have one from the driver side vs one from the passenger side, didn't notice that till after I had taken the picture.

I'm sorry Tony... I got them off Fleabay... didn't even think to check with you, my bad...

After Jegs tried to rip me off I doubt I'll be seeing much of them in the future.

I'll definitely keep you in mind for my (near) future Steeda UDPs!

That is pretty cool looking but im glad I got the ones I did. If you were trying to black out your car tho those would be the ones so you dont have to tint.

Not trying to black out the car - trouble with the law I don't need.

Those blacked out turn signals look cool though.

On another note: I bought Silverstar "stealth" bulbs for the turn signals, they are amber with a bluish silver color coating for about $10. Couldn't see dropping $30 + shipping on the "real" stealth bulbs.

My question is: has anyone else tried the Silverstars? Curious to know how they look/function.

I figured When I first saw the clear ones, I thought, "OK cool, now we need some black or smoked ones and I'm good to go" With the stealth bulbs those black ones would look very cool IMO>

Wtf???

Got my Fleabay APC corner lights...

I GOT F****D!!!!!!

The housings are clear, but there is a nice, large, amber reflector inside the housing!!!

That is *NOT* what I wanted!!! Ummm... HELLO... the picture was for CLEAR corner lights, NOT this crap!

SON OF A B****!!!

Guess I will see what I can do to work this out with the seller, but I'm guessing I just got hosed. Tony, I hereby give you permission to gloat.

EDIT: IN contacting the company, I came across THIS website:

http://www.dot.gov/affairs/nhtsa2103.htm

It says that lights with white reflectors are illegal? (not that I care)

OUCH....the ones I got from my man Tony are what you want

I dont think they need the amber in the lense. The light just has to be amber when its ON. I think they are getting in trouble because people use clear bulbs making it so there is NO amber. I could be wrong tho....

OK, spoke with the vendor...

He says that the DOT has ordered sellers of "non approved" taillights/headlights (read: no orange reflectors) to pull and destroy their inventory, and that APC no longer manufactures or distributes the "all white" lenses any more.

I'm calling on that one. Sounds a bit fishy to me.


Has anyone here heard of anything like this?
