Just personally speaking, with the chrome/polish around the lights, and the chrome rims the clears flow perfectly. Unless you've got a black stripe, or some more black going on I wouldnt change the lenses you've got (at least if they're still the same from the pic in sig).

I have some similar ones:
Got them from ebay, but as of now I dont know if I would recommend them or not. At first they fogged up on the inside from temp difference, then they leaked. PITA.

I got those too. The lens is clear, not smoked, it's just that the housing is black.
And yeah, mine leaked too after the first car wash, had to resort to this....
By the way, the little bulb plugs into a grey receptacle, I took a permanent marker (Sharpie) and made it black so it won't stick out like a sore thumb
Run a bead of silicone around them and let it dry for 24 hours before you install them. Also, once installed, you might want to put some silicone around the plug that holds the big bulb coz on my set, that plug was really loose fitting into the housing which is where the leak comes from.
Oh, and be sure you seat the big bulb properly, it should click twice, if it doesn't, the bulb will work but will be too close to the bottom of the housing and will cause it to melt. I also didn't use the bulbs that came with the clear corner lenses, I replaced them with Silverstars....they are pricey but much cooler looking

Yeah, I have done all of that. Hell I replied on one of your threads telling you to do that
I dont know why one of them is leaking like a bitch. I may call the company come monday, and see what can be done.

Ive always just put a little muscle behind it and I bent the little piece of metal (that I believe the fasica mounts to) a tiny bit to get that millimeter of clearance I need to get the edge of the corner lense out.
