Clear corners for an NSX

[supernsx]

Where can I get clear corners for an Nsx?...Can I change the bulb color to whatever I prefer?

 

[maomaonsx]

there is no aftermarket clear corners for the NSX because the Japanese NSX has a different corner light than the Acura spec cars. Ours is located infront the the front wheels where the Honda spec has them behind the front wheels.

this is a picture of a nsx that is cleared out..it seems to me that this is the 'US' version and not the japanese.

That is not clear corners. That is stock with super white bulb on the lights (not the headlights).

 

[supernsx]

no..i am talking about the sidemarkers..see how they are pink when lighted, it looks like he has them clear with a red bulb in it.

Supernsx,

The guy on "NSXTACY" website has clear side markers. He made them himself. He e-mailed me on how to do it, but I've haven't done it yet.

See here is another cleared out NSX. LOOK at the Bottom picture of this page. http://home.att.net/~hondansx/NSX2000.html

This is how David told me how to clear out the side markers:

"Goto your local plastic shop and get clear plastics (or use the ones on those flouresence light fixtures from Home Depot). Pry off the yellow, trace on the clears and cut using dremel tool. Spray
paint the orange light assembly silver and you're good to go."

it is not that easy...that's what he told me too...however the way that the rubber gasket is set up around the orange lense you need a "lip" to tuck the rubble gasket under...which i was unable to recreat...btw they cost under $50 to buy brand new so not a big deal if u mess up

Gee, I wonder if they got permission to use that background photo on their business website. It was stolen from http://philip.greenspun.com/materialism/cars/nsx

Yes, but whose car is in the Philip Greenspun photo? Not his, as I understand it from his website.

 

[NSEX]

I don't know..but for some reason I like the orange corners better than white ones.

 

[john@johnhudakracing]

Sweet... I'm going to give it a try on my yellow targa and let everyone know how it goes. To bad you can't do the whole car including the rear cluster and 3rd brake light as well.

They're doing a project to develop an LED-based tail-lamp, and they're looking for folks interested in working with them. I'm sure they'll cut you a deal.

I'll probably do the front side markers on my Sebring Silver NSX

Jim -- what bulbs do you use?
- orange, white or blue-white

They are developing a small blue-white LED array for the front sidemarkers.

I've put clear corner markers on my european NSX and they are the same as in the Civic, the Integra or the S2000 (Euro and JDM)... plenty of vendors have them. Including the orange bulb inside they run for 30$ a pair. The USDM markers are much bigger than ours and since NSX specific I assume more difficult to find...

Anyway, on the sebring silver they make a lot of difference in the look department (IMHO of course). I will post foto as soon as I'll take them...

No problems with "The Force" ??

I'll try a blue-white bulb to match my parking lamps (and HID).
Pix coming soon...

Just installed them today

 

[nsx1164]

re-installed an updated version, using the new LED arrays from clearcorners.com

Blends in really well with the aftermarket HIDs.
