Default Good quality corner lenses

Where can I get a pair of good quality clear corner lenses for my '02 SS? I want a pair that will not cloud up, leak, etc... While I am asking what about headilghts that will match the corner lenses? Thanks.

I got some for 6 bucks on ebay, they fogged up. So I spent like 70 bucks at afterthoughts and got the SAME EXACT CRAP!!!!!! But I sealed them well and they have not leaked since, but Im warning you all those retail shops do is sell the same cheap crap at stupid high prices.

That is exactly what I am trying to avoid, I put some TPC (I think) on my sierra 3 years ago and couldn't be happier with them, but I'm not sure if they make them for a SS.

just get some clear silicon rtv and smear it over the seams. That will seal it. I bought mine off ebay and havent had any issues with them.

Why does everything belong on a honda or is considered rice. If he wants them then he wants them. I didnt know clear lenses belonged on any type of car. Jesus anything other then stock now days belongs on a honda. Give me a break.
