Default Clear corner lights for turbo bumper

Hey guys I was wondering were you guys get your clear corner lights for your Turbo front bumpers. I know I can find them many many places. Ma Shaw sells them for 185 bux or so. Then again I see them other places online for less then half that. I would like a great product and a perfect fit. Please help me out. Thanks.

What Mike is saying is that it doesn't matter if the front bumper is a turbo or NA (or even a Ruf CTR-2 bumper), the corner lenses come in two flavors (clear or amber), and two lengths (short - for bumperettes, and long - no bumperettes). You can actually trim long ones to short ones. A bit harder to go the other way . I think the factory uses Hella (brand) lenses (not positive), and these are the only ones I've seen. Price? Call around.

From what I have seen the lenes come as OEM ROW clear and anyone that has the bumpers must cut them down. The question being do you want someone else to cut them or do it yourself. I'm sure it saves some money to do it yourself, but you do risk screwing them up. Big thing to remember is you have to throw away the light fixture that comes in them and use the fixture that's in your old ones. Then you must get new amber blubs that fit US fixtures...the blubs that come in them do not fit. Installing is a no brainer. Performance Parts is one outlet that carries the lenes and blubs.

Default Clear lenses for bumperettes

I posed the same question recently and was not able to locate the "shorter" clear lenses. If you happen to come across let me know. I will pay the extra to not have to frig around with it.

Performance Products bogged down badly when I ordered the short lenses so I cancelled the order and went with DPS, WWW.DEPARTSTOP.COM, 818-388-7197, who had them at my doorstep in 1.5 business days. I have no affiliation with either company and in fact some people on this board have criticized DPS, but I had zero problems.

Thanks guys for the heads up. Sorry I forgot to mention without bumperetts. The bumper I got was a bumper w/bumperetts but I had my body guy remove the gap. So I am looking for longs ones and I don’t want to mess with anything at all. I use to be the DIY guy but I just don’t want to do that this time around on this car. I'd rather pay then play with no worries. So for the long ones what do you guys recommend?

Are these the part numbers that would work for my 993 TT with bumperettes. I am assuming I have a US car and not euro. This is from automotion.com.

Front Left, White (US Cars W/ Front Bumperette)
Part Number: 900578 Our Price: $109.95

Front Right, White (US Cars W/ Front Bumperette)
Part Number: 900579 Our Price: $109.95

Dual Filiment Amber Bulb (2 Req. All 993 US Cars)
Part Number: 883183 Our Price: $1.95

I understand I will need new bulbs which are listed above.

Thanks

Yes, I bought a pair last year for $45/ each. They are the clear ROW version. I had to cut them down to fit my US bumper with Bumperette.
