hello there,

i´ve just received some jdm corner lights to put on my 89 sedan.

The housing of the JDM´s appears to be larger then the EDM one.

The original part:

Is there anybody who did this before ? someone to give me an advice on how to make it fit better....
It just doesn´t fit as tight as the original corner and goes deeper to the bumper.

You probably needed to get the JDM bracket also. Besides that they should be the same unless they were from a different year.

I have a spare pair of JDM corners so I just dug em up and compared them to my old euro corners. Only difference I could see was the two tabs at the front of the JDM corners were slightly longer.

Can't remember if mine sat differently when I put them on, I might check that tomorrow when it's light.

Euro corners are the same for all years, and I think the JDM are too. Only difference is I think 86-87 JDM got all amber ones.

@Nafs Asdf: have you already checked the corners on your redOne?

on the subject of imperfections, the bonnet needs to be slightly raised on the passenger side :P

I haven't gotten the chance to check mine up close yet, been busy. I'll try to do it today. I think A18A is right tho, seems like yours aren't just seated properly.

didn´t find a solution to make them fit as clean as i´d imagine.

if anybody wants the corners, just let me know...
