Default How many kinds/types of clear corners are there?

I've seen various pics of them and searched for many different kinds and I can't find all the types there are. I know there are a couple types:

-clear corners (the foggy plastic ones)
-diamond clear corners (the ones that look like glass)
-smoked clears (have a dark haze over them)

And someone recently mentioned that there were clears with black inside of them? Which all kinds are there?

If you guys could post up some good pics, that'd be great.

I have diamond clears on my car. Pics are in sig link. I sealed mine with silicone around the edge before installing them so they wouldn't get condensation in them. Been on for almost 2 years now I think. Still looking good and clear! If I get some black housing headlights(NOT halos), I may go with the diamond clear/black background lights. Someone posted pics of them on another thread here.

Pulling my own thread back up here.

If you guys could, please post a pic of yours and where you got them from. If Ebay, please tell the name of the company (ProCarParts, etc)

I got mine from e-bay from f1sports for $18 plus shipping but I can't find what I paid for shipping. They're the diamond clears. Pics in my sig link.

Those look pretty good.

I just don't see the difference between some of the "smoked" and "diamond" clears. Both of them sometimes look like the inside section is darkened.

All the "smoked" ones I have seen just are diamond clears with black insides instead of chrome. To me smoked means smoke colored clear plastic lense, not a black housing. I prefer the diamond clears to the euro clears though. Most people around me have the euro clears. If I switch over to black housing headlights I'll be doing the black parking lights as well so it matches.

I have the black halos too

I havent had a chance to install the turn signals though. My car is covered up for the winter.

On a side note, I tried blacking out the stock turn signals with black paint. It looks friggin sweet, but you can not see any light even at night. I can be dangerous in the wrong situation.
