Front turn signal lenses: euro clear or clear?
Trying to decide on which ones to go with? Then, where and what kind to get as far as brand goes? I want the ones that look the best and have no problems with leaking, condensation, etc. Either way I go, Im going to have to get amber light bulbs right? If so, what are some really good ones to put in there? Is it necessary to get the LED ones? Thanks

i had the diamond clear's, they looked awesome. they matched the headlights really well. but they suck due to all the moisture getting in them and blowing the bulbs..

I have pictures of diamond CC's on my car when it was black in my sig "Old Pictures" I forget what brand they are but 3 out of 4 CC's I have bought have leaked? I think I need to drill a hole in the back of them but not sure exactly where? I think the Diamonds look the best cause they match the same look of the headlight.

What kind of emblems are on the black SS? I can hardly tell because the pics wont zoom in enough? The euro clears look better to me then just the regular clears but I dont want to have any problems with leaking, condensations, etc. Thanks

All the emblems on my car are chrome even the nose badge,fuel door and my new B&B Quad tips but I havent got any updated pictures. Look at the New Pictures and there you should be able to see the emblems better. Either CC's you go with you can have problems. It's just seems that some of them have no problems and some do. Kinda weird

Every brand of clear corners will leak. The light bulb gets too hot and warps the plastic, thus allowing water in. The fix: L.E.D. bulbs, they run 95% cooler than normal bulbs and have a lifetime warranty. I have them in my Diamond clear corners from afterthoughtsauto.com and there is not one drop of moisture in them yet (4 months and counting). For added security, I got some silicone and put a beed on the edges.

The only bad part about the diamond clear ones is that if ou are running a standard bulkb, you can see it. Doesn't look too cool that way. The fix for the sondensation problm and the leaking is to drill a hole underneath the lights so water can get out and tehre wil be air circulation in the fixture.
I am going to be replacing mine with LED bulbs as soon as i find the post about what bulbs and what flasher to buy.

I think the OEM style clears look the best. As for the leaking issue, I've had mine for close to a year and they went through an entire winter and no leaking, fogging, or broken bulbs. I even used the cheep hyperwhite APC bulbs and they still work perfect. As for the euro clears, I just don't like that clear being able to see the bulb look

You'll have to replace your stock thermal flasher with an electronic flasher. It's like 7 bucks at AutoZone and takes all of 5 minutes to replace under the dash - it's a direct replacement. As far as being able to see the bulb with the diamond clears, that's a good thing IMO with the L.E.D.'s, they look
