Default Which style clear corner?

So I know everybody says Ebay to buy them, but I've seen multiple versions of them and don't know which one to get. There seems to be two primary styles:





I like the look of the second one better and am unsure what to think of the pattern found on the first one (I'd like the second one better if it didn't have that section on the top half, is that even visible after installation?). On the other hand, I don't what I saw described as the "fried egg" look from the yellow bulb showing through in the second one since the clear part in front of the bulb isn't frosted/distorted. Any one have up close pictures of both styles or insight as to which looks better? Thanks.

and ps i really like them, mine havent leaked a drop (i did seal them up before i ever installed them) and i like them alot. My plan is to put some PIAA bulbs in there because they shine a hyper white but they have a blue bulb so i think it would look sick having it reflect blue but shine white.

That pattern looks more similar to the first picture? The second one is basically just clear plastic as far as I can tell on the wider end.

Oops! Slip of the finger. They're like the first. From what I hear, sometimes it's just luck to get a set that don't leak. So I hear that it's recommended to seal the edges with silicone sealant, just in case.

Cool, thanks. It also looks like that top frosted part isn't really visible once installed? That was my greatest reservation with them as I think the bottom part is a better pattern for the lights.

*edit* And here's the picture I saw where someone called it a fried egg (this would be the second style which is completely clear there).
