Default Corner Lenses which ones

I have a silver 02 Z28 and was wondering what everyone thinks would be best for my car clear corner lenses like the ones I have, or the smoked ones. My front right corner lens is now leaking water and keeps blowing my turn signal bulb!!! Seems to be from the heat of the bulb warping the plastic where the bulb screws in! Also is there an LED type bulb I can put in there to reduce the heat??? Here is a pic of the car. Also if I do change to the smoked ones should I change the rear corners to smoked also? I have the clear ones in the rear as of right now also.

Clear, I'm just not a fan of the smoked look. They look dirty inside to me.

I would say it depends on what the rest of your car looks like. If you have the stock headlights stick with the clear corners. By your sig, I would say just remove them, seal them back up properly, and reinstall them.

clear would look the best on silver, smoked tends to look best on dark cars

Actually you can't find them anymore Eagle discontinued them in 2004 if I'm not mistaken. Got them from local tire place! I am thinking of selling them too. I get tons of comments on the wheels, I guess alot of people don't have them or havn't seen them. They are an Eagle 185
