Default Clear corners

I want to get some clear corners for my SS but Im not for sure where to look. Which brand is the best and where do I find them? Do I need to get new bulbs? Also, I have heard that moisture forms inside them sometimes. How do I prevent that? I don't want to install them if they are just going to look foggy after a bit. Thanks.

Afterthoughts should them. Try EBAY. I put 4 bulb LED's in my clear lenses, that way the bulb color is not so noticable.

eBay or a sponser would be your best bet... When you put them in make sure to seal them or they will leak!!

Got my smoked corners off EBAY !! for like $36 w/shipping. Not too shabby, lets see how they hold up after they get wet though. I think they should be ok though

Got my clear corners from ProCarParts through Ebay.
$55...2 years ago, they're like $40 now.

I'm looking at switching to the smoked ones as well.

I got mine from Afterthoughts and like the way they look compaired to other brands. I also have had trouble keepin the moisture out but it only takes a couple minutes to take them out and dry them(or 1). I use a hair dryer.
