Default Where do I get these clear corners?

I know I'm very picky, but I want the clear corners shown on these members' cars:





But the only two kinds of clears/white corners I can find on ebay are these --

Frosted clears:


Clears with ugly reflector:

I got mine off ebay (top car) and trust me I'm picky also. The other ones just aren't as nice looking as the ones I used.

Just so you know, the frosted part goes behind your bumper, you won't even see it.

Yeah I know, but even the visible part isn't completely clear. Oh well, I'll probably go for the clears with reflectors.

I like the frosted better, especially since it conceals the yellow bulb better:

Thanks to BlackBADaSS02, I found some: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-02...spagenameZWDVW

And I actually want my bulbs to show. A touch of orange contrasts the car great!
