Clearcorners on 993TT's...

Basically, I'm looking to replace the orange turn signals with clear ones on my 1996 993TT.. but I have the little bumperettes... and so far, any clear corners that I've seen won't fit the bumper because of that little plastic bumperette...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know this is of no help, but I was unable to find the clear corners that replaced only the corner light and maintain the bumperette. I installed the clear corner without the bumperette and there is a gap. There is nowhere that I can find that has a "filler" for this piece. I think I will end up pulling the bumper cover, having it filled and painted.

HTH

I was trying to avoid doing that, but it looks like I will have no choice... hopefully somebody else can chime in with some more insight?

Get the Euro Clear corners, then cut off the end of the lens, & fill it in with silicone. That way no gaps, you keep the bumperetts, & it's not going to cost you $1200 to get the bumper redone.

I can't tell if I like it with or without the bumperettes... everytime I see a pic without them, it looks odd to me....
