Having a clear out of the garage and found these. They are a set of clear indicator lenses and corning lights from a JDM import 4th Gen. The sale is just for the lenses so you would have to sort out the extra bulbs and wiring. The idea with the cornering lights, is that when you indicate to turn left or right a little light comes on on the relevant side to light up the part of the road that you will be turning into to.
Looking for £25. Prefer paypal, Buyer pays fees, but I will include free delivery to mainland UK.
PM me if you are interested. Cheers.

strage question for these
i have just taken my clear set off and swapped for blackbacked ones, now the strange bit is the clear fitted as standard corner lights have a bulb fitment the same size as the indicators and a 12v/21w bulb fitted and your ones pictured above have sidelight fittment that takes a 12v/5w 501 bulb, if i tried splicing the wires to a 501 holder would this not fry the bulbs? or are what you think are corner lights are supposed to be sidelights? so did you have these fitted and working as corner lights??

Hi. Thanks for the question. I've owned about 4 JDM 4th Gen and only one had the cornering lights wiring, but was in the track lude which didn't have the lenses fitted but came with the car. Sadly said car has long gone.
However, I have driven a working setup on a green 4th gen JDM that used to belong to Richy at PA and then Dino. It had the sidelights in the headlight lenses, and the corner lights that worked as I described. Sorry, I don't know much about the wiring or bulbs.

Nathan (nafeman) has cornering lights on his daily driver, maybe he could have a look and give you the relevant info

i have corner lights and they work(or worked) i went to fit the blackbacked ones (same as pics above) and couldn't as the bulb holders are different sizes (if this makes sence)
so what i have done now is run a wire down from my sidelights(in the headlights) and fitted 501 bulb holders
so what used to be corner lights are now sidelights and done away with the cornerlights (better for me as i have OCD and could not stand the fact that when my indicators were on people thought i had one light out)

Bulb size (in terms of wattage) won't matter as longas it's all 12v. You'd be fine to wire the 501s as cornering lights if you ever change your mind. Won't be very bright though, i'd shove led bulbs in if you ever do

I will say that these things are great! They don't sound or look like they'd really do much, but you'd be very surprised.
The entrance of my road isn't that well lit, so usually I end up turning into darkness. There'd quite often be a cat or four sat in the middle of the road that I'd then very nearly run over... But now the whole entrance to the road is lit up and I can now plan my route and quite confidently negotiate the little bastards.
