Default These smoked corners..

What do you guys think of these smoked corners? Or maybe somebody has them, I searched a shitton but couldn't find anything like these. (I like the ones people have niteshaded, but it's winter, and I'm lazy)

ProCarParts has something like those, I dunno if they're the exact one or not. I wanted some but I got both my clears and side markers for a little bit more, yet I would've ended up spending about $20-30 more for those + markers.

Ok, well thanks for your help, I ended up buying them. I'll get some pics when they are installed. I guess if I don't like them, I will pick up more 'traditional' clears.

where'd you get them from? Ebay? I'm trying to find some nice ones..and I like yours. Especially since were the same color.

Dang, I just put in new smoked corners not long ago, but they're not as dark as these are... I like these better!

Yeah I got them from ebay, the sellers name is eurosportgarage and they were 38 bucks shipped. (They come w/ bulbs)

I'm having a problem with moisture on the inside, not from them leaking, but from bulb heat, and cooler temp outside. I have washed the car 2x and they are yet to leak. So I'm just going to go w/ it for now, wait for summer / warmer weather. (I also may dissable daytime running lamps so the bulbs dont heat up while im driving around.

Other than that, I think they are bad ***, and darken up the front of the car nicely. The one thing I didnt like was how the bulb socket was white (the part connected to car that twists into the corner), it really stood out against the black background of the corners. So I painted them black w/ krylon paint for plastics.

I actually don't like this look as good as another guy on here has. He has ones just like yours, and he put a few coats of VHT nightshades. The look was downright amazing. (Just a thought, that way you can have yours darker, and not have to get new corners)
