Get the depo's from ebay. Those are the better brands.

I don't know of any options for doing that. I know VHT makes a red tint, but no amber tint that I'm aware of.

I've had a few different eBay clear/black corners and in my experience, they're all crap. They either let moisture in (with silicone), the bulb sockets don't fit right or the bolt holes don't line up right. You name it.

The vast majority on ebay are the junk ones. Only the seller neondials sells the better ones that I've been able to find.

Yeah, I had a set of those once and they were alright. My only complaint about them would be that the sockets of the smaller bulbs (the outer ones) didn't fit 100%. But it seems like a lot of people don't use those anyway.

They leak because water seeps down the gap between the headlights & sits on top of the signals & gets in through the bulb socket. I managed to stop it by covering the top of the signals in clear cellophane.
I'd still like new ones because they got damaged before I figured that out, but that company listed excludes delivery to UK & they're the only company that do the crystal clear lenses that I have now.

The depos are the best set of corners. The others tend to have leaking and condensation issues.

Personally, I'm considering going back to the factory style corner lights in my Camaro. I've just grown tired of the clear type corner lights.

OP, I think the Depo ones are the only ones worth having really but even there not 100% like the factory style are.

I've seen these on ebay also, and wondered how they would look and what quality they are? Instead of the clear lens they have the factory-style "prism" lens that diffuses the light. I wonder how they would look...

Clear
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-2002-CH...item3a6a2ae6cb

Black
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-2002-CH...item3a6a2ae6cb

I'm thinking maybe a set of the black ones with a little bit of VHT to darken the lens a bit. I was considering using VHT on my stock amber housings but the amber may still show unless I really black them out, then I'm concerned about light visibility.



Quick Reply: decent set of clear corners?
