I'm using the ones that Bene has. I got mine from ebay seller Neondials. I just had to order a new pair a few days ago because I cracked one of the lenses.
I was trying to get the housing a bit darker, since I installed my BLS kit they seemed out of place. Somewhere along the line my original corners were melted together(installed by prev. owner)
.
I love these because they look great but retain the reflector to project the turn signal/parking lamp.

My custom clear front turn signals The clear turn front marker lights that I bought on eBay are made by Depo.
I wanted clear markers because I installed a 55-watt HID bulb in each of the housings, and the markers' chrome interiors help reflect the light and heat. (Most factory smoked front marker lights either have matte-black plastic interiors, or just a small chromed area inside, and are dimmer as a result).
To achieve the custom-smoked effect that I wanted, I tinted my markers with strips of lightly smoked film from RVinyl. I then masked off the front portion of each marker and lightly tinted the lights' opposite halves with VHT Nightshades.
I carefully applied clear silicone all around the edges of both housings to prevent water leaks. I also fabricated and installed large, waterproof heat extractors on top of each housing to prevent them from melting from internal heat build-up from the HIDs.
I really like the results: My HID running lights can be seen at great distances, and the markers themselves have what I think is a really cool, custom-tinted effect when the lights are off.

ZOMKSPEED?
To be honest, I used the one with the best feedback on ebay.
I also made sure the weather rubber seals actually seal the LED towers and the bulb housing snaps shut.
What I have noticed that these corners have stoppers that are too tall for the bulb housings to snap into and not seal. I shorten them a bit and so far no water inside. The LED towers are also run cooler compare the filament version. I also used a little bit of copper sealant in between the weather rubber seal and the bulb housing.
