i just ordered some corner light assemblys from AM Autoparts due to the passenger one haveing ton of condensation in it. Looked ugly. I hope they look nice...also was thinking about ordering new headlight covers as well but ill wait because they are expensive i think $330 for the pair.

I have them too. I havent put them in yet but they look nice. Im going to remove my factory set and have them refinished and put them away. Im going to run the aftermarkets. My car sees 90% highway travel so i dont wanna beat up the stock ones any more.

I've heard the aftermarkets came with a different connectors (plug)... There're pretty pricey...

Yep, think I'll buy the aftermarket also and put the OEMs in storage.

I spoke to a guy that's selling his MM and he said he has bought a aftermarket pair and the connectors didn't match

so if the connectors dont match, what would someone have to do to get the lights to work?

I would think to do a Macgyver... With the old ones and cut and attach it to the new ones.

What connector plug are you talking about? You start a thread about corner lights and then go right to headlights.

The only connectors are for the bulbs. Don't know how they can be different?????? If they are just use the old connectors. Much ado about nothing.......

Aftermarket ones are just fine. Oem is probably made by the same company in Taiwan.
