Hey guys, I'm new here and thought hopefully someone can help me out. I have my explorer posted up on cardomain.com and as I was browsing I found a guy with black corner lenses. I have looked everywhere online:ebay, google searching, the works. PLEASE if you have any ideas where I can find these or if the person did it themselves give me suggestions on how about doing it myself. Thanks a lot, I look forward to some inputs.

I have the black headlights and corners, I bought them on ebay about 6 months ago. It will be hard to find them without the amber reflector on the side. There was a recall bulletin on them from the two companies that made them, that they were not safe or some bs cause they didnt have the amber reflector on the side. Good luck in finding some, they look a hell of alot better that the OEM ones.
 






Well why would they recall the black corners if the white ones do not have the amber reflectors on them? And I have checked ebay and cannot find them. If you can find them please let me know.

these are the official statements, personally its a crock of ****, i have checked mine and with the amber bulb in them, they are plenty visible. If you can't see a 4300 lb. vehicle coming towards you thats your own damn fault.
