Default New Parts and a Deal

So I ordered a new set of clear corners because my old ones dont fit the way i would like them too and I wanted the diamond ones that you can see the bulbs in so I ordered a set off of ebay. Got them the other day and they're definitaly not for our trucks. Called them today and found out they sent me ones for a Ranger and the guy was really nice and said he'd ship me out the Dakota one's today and I can keep the Ranger ones and give them to a friend or christmas present or something lol. My buddy is getting a hell of a deal because I'm selling them to him for $10. So all good there got a sweet deal out of it lol. Then I just ordered my new front sway bar bushings because mine are making all kinds of noise. Ordered them from suspension.com and that guy was real nice to said they should be here thurs. So Friday night now is dedicated to a night at the shop doing my sway bar bushings, my buddies sway bar bushings, oil change, new bov and strut bar connector on his Jetta, as long as everything gets in on time.

got the clear corners for $35 shipped and the bushings for $26 shipped I'll take some pics of my old corners and then the new ones once they're on and if anyone wants the old ones after seeing how they fit, depending on where you are i'll sell them for $16-$22 shipped if anyone would be interested

ok so i finally got the new clear corners on...they fit better than the old ones but still aren't perfect but unless you know its there i doubt you know it so overall im very happy with the new ones and just need to get the clear headlight housings so that they all match. my alignment problem could also be the fact that my headlights may not be aligned right. one more thing i realized on these is that they part closest to the grill pops in, on my old ones one of the two tabs on both sides broke off so they never popped in, this could be another reason why they didn't fit correctly. anyways heres some pics
