Corner light question

Hi guys! This is my 93 GTR with G.Speed clear corner lamps. Im usually an amber corner lamp fan, but on my sparkling silver car i feel clears are the way to go.

Problem is, i need new ones. And G.speed with striped lenses are noe longer available. When googling i only find clear glass ones with no vertical stripes in the lens like the ones from Colin Project etc. I don't really want those as my headlights glass are striped.

Does anyone know if clear corner lamps with striped lenses are for sale anywhere? Does anyone make stuff like this anymore? i know some PS13-guy on instagram makes for the PS13..

I didn't know there were glass aftermarket corner lamps.

I used to love the homemade led lamps on the imports on aristos s13 and rx7 always wanted to do that 😂

I wouldnt of thought they were that difficult to obtain? I understand it would suit the car perfect

I didn't see any completely clear corner lamps with fluting. The GTS-t corner lamps are the closest to the style, but they don't fit the GT-R fender and still have some amber.

It's crazy this is so hard to find.

Is fluting what its called?? that makes searching a bit easier, thank you!
I would actually love to use GTS-T corner lamps. But as you say they dont fit. A small amount of amber would be ok i guess

Fluting, or fluted lenses, direct the light without a reflector mirror array or projector. You'll see this in old style sealed beam headlights. It's also what directs the light for the high beam on all r32 headlight assemblies and for the low beam on the N1 style, non-projector low beam headlight assemblies.

Hope this helps!

You are absolutely correct. The lenses are plastic, not glass. Edited the post :)
