Quality Clear Corners
Man I tried the ebay carp and they just leak and fog up. Does anybody make something with OEM quality that will not do this? If so let me know where you got em, thanks guys.

You probably just need to seal the lens. It is pretty well known that most aftermarket clear lens leak. You just need to run a bead of clear silicone around them before installing them and you're good to go. I know some guys even drill small holes in the bottom to let any water that gets in escape. I've had mine on for months and even after repeated washings mine have not gotten any water in them or fogged up because I selaed them first. I bought the cheapest ones I could find on ebay too. You need to take them off seal them up and use a blow dryer to get all the remaining moisture out.

Yeah Ima have to seal mine as well. I was just lazy when I installed em and didnt do the silicone. Im paying for it now. It looks cheezy when they fog up. Also, for the second time, I have gotten water one of them and it actually shorts out the light bulb. Its a pain in the ***. Just seal em and be done with it.

I've had my $30 Ebay diamond clears for over 3 years now with ZERO issues. I laid a bead of marine grade silicone between the lense and the housing. It's held up great.

I just got front ones for my car brand new from someone on here. I put them on w/o sleaing them, putting any silivone or anything on. Ive washed it, hell, the cars been through a tropical storm now and no leaks, no fogging up nothing!
I need to start looking for the rear ones, and hope I have the same good luck w/ the backs as w/ the front.

I have had 2 pairs..one from procarparts and the other from ebay..both lasted for about a year and then the back actually melted on both pairs so i just bought some tint spray and tinted my stock ones..its cheaper (costs $5) and you dont have to worry about water issues or fogging up

I got a set from pro car parts and they fogged within the 1st month. I pulled them out and sealed them, they still fogged up. It is to the point where they have a puddle in the bottom at all times. Now take in mind I live in Houston and the humidity levels are insane nearly year round.

I got mine from RKSport, the are just like the stock ones where they have the reflector stuff so you cant see the bulb but they are clear. I didn't like the ebay ones, first they leaked and then I didn't like that you could see the bulb.
