Well I finally got around to doing it. I hated those giant orange markers on the side of 90-91 corner lenses. So I popped them out (or smashed them out ), and got a custom place to shape and form me a plastic replacment. They used a neat prismatic plastic used on some types of flourescent light covers so it's a bit opaque, like the rest of the lense. Not just a glass-clear replacment which would look dumb. I'll have pics in the morning.

Mark,

How much? If I sent you a set of reflectors do you think they could reproduce the item?

Pretty cool......I definitely want to see pics.

Could they reproduce this plastic piece on a mass quantities....well 20+ and those that are interested buy them?

Josh,

Sent you the pics.

Mark,

Here's pics

I got this place to make me up a pair of pieces for 30 dollars. Not bad considering other places wanted 150 dollars. As for whether they will mass produce them, I'd have to ask and find out, and also guage interest.

That's pretty slick looking!

Do they still blink orange?

Blink orange? They NEVER BLINKED to begin with!

Get us a price on mass production, and instructions on installation.

I'm a dolt..... I've been trying to find the post I saw on making them blink, so that you could get rid of the ones that sit below the bumper. Must have blinking corner lights on the brain!

The 92-94 blinked, thats probably what you are thinking of. Ive been playing around with a relay network to allow the stock units to blink, I also want to rid myself of the below bumper blinkers.

I used the light bulb socket from the blinkers and siliconed them into the corner light.

The blinker bulb socket is smaller than the corner light hole, but it is big enough to not just go through into the housing.

One of the wires I don't remember which, left or right, is too short to reach the corner light. So you'll have to extend it.

I have pics, just ask.

Looks good. I just made mine all amber, I've always liked amber lights.

I would love to do this. Let us know about more.

That would probably work but do yourselves a favor and don't do what I did with my first legacy. I decided I wanted fog lights where the blinkers were and you can't see those blinkers from the side anyways so I wanted them in the corner lights where they belong. I cut the connectors off the blinker lights and running lights and then wired the blinker wires to the corner "running lights" and put fog lights in place of my old blinker locations. I turned on the blinkers to test them and they blinked at least twice as fast as before. Which is extremely annoying! I think the bulbs in the running lights were of different impedence and threw off the blinker relays or something.

It was so damn annoying that eventually (months later, I'm lazy) I tore into the whole thing and got rid of my fog lights. Went to the junkyard and bought new blinker housings, bulbs and lenses and rewired everything back to stock. And voila, my blinkers were back to normal.

So don't go that route. Move the bulbs and sockets into the corner housings if you want your blinkers to stay the same.
