    Default Non-amber corner lenses?

    Every e34 I see with smoked corner lenses has aftermarket headlights. Are smoked corner lenses available separate? As much as I'd like smoked smileys, my e34 is my dd and my e30 and 240z come first, I can't go spending $400 on smoked smileys for my e34 when my e30 doesn't even have them yet.

    what are you talking about? there is no useless information in his post. he very clearly asked if he could buy smoked clear corners without also having to buy smoked headlights, ie in a bundle. The answer is yes, they are available separately , either from ebay vendors, or companies like Abraham Motorsport.

    i made the title clear, so you knew what it was about. then, i put a description, where one can get more in depth. I mean i guess if there was no title i could see where you're coming from, but it says "non amber corner lenses for an e34?"

    which is exactly what I want. i want to know what my options are, for corner lenses, in colors besides amber

    Your best and cheapest bet is ebay, your looking at about $40 shipped depending where you live and they come in a variety of style's.

    So... what, the OP has trouble finding a set of aftermarket headlights that doesn't come with smoked corner lenses?

    Are smoked corner lenses available separate?

    Maybe he wants not simply non-amber corner lenses, but smoked non-amber corner lenses.

    As much as I'd like smoked smileys,

    Oh, is it that he wants smoked smileys and not smoked corner lenses so long as the corners are not amber? What's going on here?

    my e34 is my dd and my e30 and 240z come first, I can't go spending $400 on smoked smileys for my e34 when my e30 doesn't even have them yet.

    Stuff that doesn't help me figure out this post. Do you see where I'm coming from, now?

    no. i had no trouble understanding his post instantly and exactly as it was written.

    why would you do that when replacement lenses are so cheap?
