I got both my front and rear clear corners from AfterThoughts Auto (sponsor). They are very high quality (can't tell them from factory pieces other than color) and have never leaked in the 4 years I've owned them (course the car has never seen the rain )

Stay away from the cheap versions on eBay that are made from flourescent light diffuser material glued to a factory backing - They don't look near as good and I've heard they have much problem with leaking.

Not saying that the eBay version mentioned above are necessarily the crappy ones...

If you do get a cheaper one...silicone the hell ouf of the edges. Also, silicone the plug with the big bulb into the housing, that was my major point of leakage.

I have had 2 full sets from Afterthoughtsauto and they SUCK! Both sets leak like the titanic and it in turn causes the reflective backing to fall off and then they are white on the backing rather than the shiny chrome look. There is water in them all the time and it kills bulbs. they SUCK!

On that note...anyone making a new front DRL/Signal housing that doesent leak the same way?? Mine leak like crazy. Just want new ones...I will even buy a new stock one andsilicone the hell out of it.
