Default where to buy CLEAR jdm style corners

I tried searching already and didn't find anything. Almost everyone and their mother sells the black housing jdm style corner lenses. I want to get my hands on the clear ones. Does anyone know who sells them...BESIDES autodynamic? I'd already tried to order from them, and after a month when I called them up..they said they were on backorder, and MIGHT have some more in 10 days. Needless to say I cancelled my order. I won't do business with autodynamic again. So can anyone tell me where else I might find the clear jdm corners? Thanks

P.S. I've already tried ebay...no luck.

Someone else had mentioned this, but the black housing corners were on the Accord SiR. All the other 5th gen Japanese accords had clear headlights, and clear corners. They have to be jdm, or jdm style, because my european (stanley) headlights are meant for the same type of corner the japanese models use.

there's a few differences...these headlights are "frosted" as opposed to the US and JDM multi-reflector design. The main difference is the actual lighting. The difference between the ecodes and the US headlights, is the difference between night and day. I don't know how to post pictures here..but if you go to hondasociety.com and search the 5th gen Accord forums for "ecode" in one of the posts you'll see the photos someone was nice enough to put up for me. One is the stock lights against a wall, and the other is the ecode lights against the same wall.

Default by the way

thanks for your help guys. I'm gonna bid on the ebay lights. At least those are genuine. I'm certainly not gonna pay damn near 200 bucks for corners from optauto.com, but thanks for the reference.
