Can't go wrong with the eBay ones. Put some silicone around the seam tho. They tend to leak.

mcalus, thanks for the input, however I dont want to go the route with the silicone. I want to install once and not have to worry about any leaks.

Stick with the depo brand that I posted up a link to. Don't skimp out and buy some crappy ones and end up blowing bulbs and tossing sockets at it. You'll be happy with those, trust me. Bought some black reflectors for mine with the clear lenses and very happy with the quality.

I have had numerous sets of clear or smoked corners and all of them have leaked even the ones from the link they posted from neondials but i put some silicone around them and now they are fine. Unfortunately if u dont want them to leak your probably gonna have to put some silicone around the edges its cheap and easy to do though

Got the eBay front markers, no issues with them. Think I paid 30 bucks for the set

+1, virtually ALL corner lenses are GOING TO LEAK, the solution is to go with the Depo's but go around the "seam" where they leak from with a clear silicone BEFORE installing.

Sounds like I will be ordering the Depo's and putting a little silicon on them. I was thinking about installing LED bulbs when I do the covers. Anybody got any suggestions? Pros or cons? Suppliers of LED's?
