I splerged and bought the Clear Corners....they look SICK on the front of of a White Z!!! They also came with the yellow bulbs which you have to have to stay legal/see.

If you want them dark though VHT and spray them yourself.

i used VHT and my friend used VHT to black out the amerber ones on his camaro. I would use VHT, then you can also black out the 3rd brake light, and rear side marker lights.

That still looks clear, but has black in the back, kinda like a reverse Whistler mod. I really like those, though, but $45...damn.

I just spray painted mine with high temp black paint and clear coat. You can barely tell they're there when the signals are off.
