I have had about 7 different clear sets on about 4 Camaros. There is no way i would ever put stock ones back on. I have about 4 stock sets sitting in my shed if anyone wants them lol I have a Trans Am now so I don't have to worry

I agree with Brian on sealing them. I sealed mine. Let the silicone dry before you put the lights back on and install any bulbs. The silicone is meant to block water from entering into the light housing.

Default colors

it always comes down to the color of your car

seems blacking them out or tinting them on darker cars is the way to go.. unless you have an uncanny amount of chrome on it

and of course the colored ones or definitely clear corners look amazing on white and lighter colors

I always use a leaf blower to take off the majority of the water off my car after washing it. It really helps when it comes to the clear corners. Granted my car is not a Daily Driver, but before using the leaf blower, the water would just stay there and fog up the clears.
