TheGuz beat me to it, they are the ones I have. They are the same one that sommer86 is talking about. They have the black housing with the chrome reflector in the back to aim the light forward and also keep the bulb from melting the back of the housing.

Sorry for the delayed response guys. My car is in the shop getting put back together, so I'll get some pics tomorrow.

But, every blinker I've seen on eBay now doesn't show or offer the rear chrome reflector. Are you guys sure they have one? Some of my friends have bought those same ones and they're all black housings with no chrome, so just becareful when ordering.

The edges in the housing are just too sharp and don't match the roundness of the stock headlights... Whistlering some stock ones is the best way to go IMO. I also did what Sommer has done, but unfortunately I sold my Camaro and didn't take pics because I eventually made my own LED turn signals up front..

I'll make sure to message whoever I'm dealing with.
If they are all black maybe I'll look into whistlering them myself with some all chromes.
Take your time with the pics bud. I did take a look at your gallery but would like a closer look of them turns. Thanks

I'd do my stocks but my lenses are fogged up. I don't really want to restore them and possibly deal with having to repeat process if they fog up a month down the line. I thought I read somewhere cleaning em doesn't last long but I could be wrong it was a while ago.

There is only one ebay seller I'm aware of that sells the depo corners. neondials or something like that. Everyone else sells the other (crap) corners.

*edit* found them

*edit2* Holy crap what happened to your car?!

Hey here's a little trick I did on my old car with black corners. Pull that little corner bulb and use a black sharpie on the white socket. Quick, easy, and makes it look much better
