My clear corners came in the mail today. There's a disclaimer on them that says that it's produced for off-road/show use only, and that it's not suitable for regular driving. It says it doesn't have DOT or SAE approval.....

I'm not worried about getting pulled over, because most cars these days come stock with clear corners, and my car looks otherwise stock. My question is, are these things going to break easily from stones on the highway, etc? They don't really look like they're made from really strong plastic. I'm assuming there's only one manufacturer for these lenses? Anyone have bad experiences with them?

 

if you somehome get pulled over for these then that would be crazy. The cop would have to have terminator eyes that have like 100x optical zoom to see that your lenses lack DOT or SAE approval

 

as I said, that's not my main concern. I'm just worried that they'll break under heavy highway driving. As in are they any less durable than stock (not that I have a choice, my stock ones are gone anyway).

 

naw their fine, they wont break....unless a hugh rock smokes them

 

They won't break, they should be the same as your stock lenses as far as quality.

 

they are pretty damn strong

 

I got messed with one time by a cop because I didnt change my bulbs to amber, I left them white. I still didnt change them yet and ahvent been messed with since.

 

i've had my clears almost 4yrs....no problems yet


a rock broke one of my stock orange ones about a month after I bought my car though

 

youre right..what a dumb fuckin question

 

You would have to hit something pretty hard, or big, such as a a boulder, or a pole, or another car to really crack or break them. They are as tough as the stockies.

 

now now, be nice...

 

My clear corners are holding up a lot better than my front bumper and the front of my hood around the grill. Rock chips are killing my paint. Damn shitty Okie roads.

 

yes, I am a n00b to these cars....isn't everyone at one point?

I take relatively frequent long distance trips with my car, so I wanted to know if they're strong enough, because they didn't feel all that sturdy. My last car was an 84 supra...if you wanted clear corners on that bitch you had to make em yourself (I know people who have).

 

watch out for construction zones, those lazy people enjoy leaving their hardhats in the middle of the road for some one like me to hit at about 80 mph. that cracks them really quick

 

bye-bye air dam and lower grill.

 

It could break, but not likely. My stock ones broke by the previous owner. I'm looking to replacing them soon.

 

I would put an amber bulb in there just to be on the safe side... besides itll probably look better

 

i drive from LA to the OC 3x a week, and i commute to school 20min on the freeway 3 days a week, im all over the freeway, my clear corners are perfectly fine

 

those lights arent that strong...one of mine got busted.

 

well ever since i converted my car to an all wheel rally car i havnt broken one yet.

 

shit cousin i got blue bulbs on top of my clears
cops here dont give a shit about that kind of stuff. as long as we arent speeding they wont say a damn thing. ive actually had cops compliment me on my clears.

 

that looks ace dude.....although my luck I'd get stopped for it within a week. I once got a TICKET for having my front license plate in the windshield of my supra (the bracket was rusted off, so I assumed it was fine in the windsheild)......

 

im lookin to relocate my rear plate somewhere and have my exhaust exit in that hole. and down here we dont have to have front plates. ha ha
