Default clear corners?

Im having my black ss painted soon and it will have brand new headlights. Im just debating if I want to keep my stock amber turn signal lenses or should I go with clear???

i think the clear would look good against black and next to new crystal clear headlights, but the stock amber isnt bad either.

Im just wanting opinions, and if you have a black car w/ clear corners, can u post it up???

where can i buy different corners from?

e hay is awesome for clear or smoked corners.

I 'd keep the amber corners on a black camaro though, Clean them if needed but keep it amber.

I would go with clear corners. I used to have them on my SS, but decided to smoke them now. Going a different route, but with a black SS. Unless your going for a blacked out or "murdered" out look, go with clear's.

Ebay is your best place @ finding clear corners.

i would stick with the amber ones... iunno when i see clear corners kinda looks to "vato" for me, i mean it's not horrible but i think the amber looks good and breaks it up just enough...

I like amber, but on a black car with new factory-style headlights, clear looks good too (especially if you have chrome/polished rims).

Perfect example lol. I was thinking LS1 cars, but you could say the exact same thing for the '93-'97

I had clear corners on my old white camaro, but i found that once they kept leaking and water would get inside and the bulb would blow it would tint the whole housing darker and after about 2 blows it was almost a tinted corner lense. if only i could have the other side bulb blow then they would match but anyway after a month they went in the trash lol but the clear would look good on the black if everything else is done right

i didnt like the ambers, so i swapped in clears at first. then i blacked them out to see how i liked it, and whoa, do i love it now! blacked out is definitely the way to go. and i love the way the black lights make the amber bulbs glow darker.







heres how it looked clear

I put the clear rear and front turn signal lenes on my Black TA/hawk.

I know its a different looking car, but still I like the clear lenses on a black f-body.

thats the good thing about buying them clear. get clear, check them out, and if you like them, leave them. i used clear for the past 3 1/2 years and liked them just fine. if you dont like it, or just want to try it out in black, just get some VHT and black them out. i just decided to black them out a few months ago, and i really like that look now.
