They look like clears.

To the best of my knowledge, you can't buy true smoked corners. You can get clear corners with a black interior, though. All you gotta do is tint the actual clear lense, whether that be with VHT, film tint, or tinted clear.

Smoked clear corners > smoked stock corners!

I prefer the clear ones better. Make sure you read the thread on how to keep moisture from getting in the housing before you install whichever ones you end up getting.

you have clear corners. smoked corners have a black background, the lens itself is clear.
