Hey guys looking to source out an aftermarket place maybe south of the border that can get those front corner lights on the 1995 Riviera. Mine have gotten foggy over time and need to be replaced. I have already tried the lens repair kits you can get, no success with that, and I have checked all my aftermarket venues like Cross canada, and Pro Body and I can't get anything through them either. I want to kinda avoid the GM dealer, even though my brother is the partsmen there and I get a deal things are still grotesquely priced in comparison to jobber. Thanks in advance for any help.

If you can get employee price at the dealer, the best price your probably going to get.
They are not available in the aftermarket.

Agreed, Rick. Try to get the employee pricing. There should still be a few cornering lights left!

I'm surprised the kits didn't work for you. I've had a lot of success with them but hey....maybe yours are too far gone. No problem smile .

X 2.... At wholesale I paid around $40 each a couple years. You should be able to get them in the 30 range with employee pricing, I'd think. Pretty damn reasonable if you ask me. There is no other source and likely never will be. These cars aren't being restored when they get old, they're getting crushed, unfortunately.

You can wetsand and buff them. They'll come out really nice. I haven't seen many where the corrosion is on the inside. If you need to, look on ebay for used ones. I've seen a lot for $35/shipped.

Thanx for all the speedy feedback guys, I will hit up my Bro at the dealer I guess. Just thought I would test the waters before jumping in head first. Things are a little pricier usually here North of the Border but it can't be that unreasonable.

DEMonte1997 I gotta say I love what you have done with the headlamps on your riv!!! Are they just CTS headlight covers? Or did you just tint them? Bcause it looks stellar!

Front corner light lenses for Riv? !BohEYfwBmk~$(KGrHqYOKkIEu,VS7cqOBLnti3gDgQ~~_3

The listing says it will fit a Riviera, and it does seem the same shape. I was just wondering if anyone has used them on their car and how they look with the yellow/amber.

I am in the market for new corner lenses. I do know the trick with McGuires solutions can the Mr.Clean magic eraser but it doesn't last long and my 1995 corner lenses are made of the worst type of plastic.

Can someone direct me to a real glass version or one's with better plastic. I would prefer new, call me crazy.

Looks like it's the right shape, but don't forget the corner lenses are solid light when your turn signal is on. Orange doesn't help much for visibility and will look like your blinker is broken.

That is a sample photo. Not the actual part for sale. The actual part is most likely what you already have on your Riv.

Yes, Sample Photo means just that. It is a sample of a light, not the one you are specifically shopping for. Ebay stores do this all the time. They don't go to the bother of a correct pic.

There's no aftermarket. If you want new, you need to pony up for new GM, go to GMPartsdirect.

Umm, the listing says USED, with 179,000 miles on it. I don't think you're getting anything you are going to like much.
