Be careful, the ones ones on ebay can start to melt from the heat of the DRL/Turn bulb. If you have the DRL mod, then it might be worth a try.

My clear corners melted around the DRL bulb. Made it a PITA to change when it shorted and blew. I love how they look and you can't tell they've melted but it still sucks.

here is what i did with mine










you could do something similar and just use white paint..

also if you get them run a thick bead of silicone around the outside edges so they dont fog up

i removed my drl bulb all together, and patched the back side

I just posted pics of mine under the thread "hood Scoop grill options" or something like that in this section....I have em on and think they look good. Before you put them on I would for sure water test them for leaks and silicone and needed. My drivers side gets water in it after every wash and it's a pain in the *** to take the headlight off, then take the bulb out to soak up all the water. But haven't had burning probs I have clear bulbs in there and they've been on for about 11 months now

Yea I have had them before and had the same condensation/water build up probelms... I guess if I purchase them, soaking them in water to check for leaks is a must! Super glue and silicone might just do the trick!

Is there any Performance or Aftermarket companies that make and sell a decent pair of clear corner's? Other than Ebay??
