look what came in the mail

today i got my SEDAN OEM lights. everything looks pretty good. no scratches, ok condition... just need some cleaning. if any of you drive a sedan, you know how rare parts are to find used on this site. its like looking for a needle in a hay-stack. im a little concerend and i need the help of people whove cleared their lights before.



here are my beauties:




on the backside of one of the lights though i noticed some things...

on the right one, one of the clamps is broken.


on the same right light... i dont know what the purpose of this is but it too is broken.
here:


will those two broken peices have any effect on leakage or clearing them?


now im giving the benefit of the doubt here and want to know from some of the people who have a good opinion or any experience with clearing oem lights. i got them off a trustworthy aquatence on this site, so i dont want any bashing towards her. we made the deal and she waited patiently for the money before sending them out.

my opinion: theyre fine. but i am concerned with leakage and such. i wish i woulda known though, maybe coulda talked the price down.

no...you shouldnt have a problem with clearing them or installing them...

thats not any mounting peices...

as for clearing them...

why dont you just keep those broken ones, and clear you STOCK ones you have on you car now....

and then when you want to get rid of your car, just put the broken ones in....

(just incase...so they wont fog up)
