    I bought mine off of ebay. There like $22 plus shipping. No they are not the best quality, but they look pretty good.
    I could get a pic if you want.

    Get depo lights if you go ebay. I am not really sure if mine are depo or not.

    *also make sure get ones that will fit your trim. 2WD DO NOT FIT 4WD. I found that out the hard way.

    thank you very much!!!
    the only problem is none were clear -_- the only clear ones i have been able to find are chrome or black could i just sand the black down or even take it to a shop and have them paint it lunar mist for me. I want it done right the first time

    I thought they had clear corner matched?

    To pay a shop to paint that would be a lot... too much IMO

    You could sand it down, mask it off, color match spray paint it yourself, then apply a clear coat for a fraction of what they'd charge you.

    Ive looked at them both in person side by side. The only difference is the 96-97 has screws in the side vs. a little clip type of thing on the 01-04. Both will work though

    Did you remove the orange piece or just tape everything around it?

    Sorry, I'm unsure of what you mean by "orange piece." Are you talking about the orange tinted part of the lens? These are clear corner lights, so they have no orange in them at all..

    I just masked off the lens, sanded down the fake chrome, primed, painted and clear coated.
