Clear Corners Trying to get some opinions on clear corners. Are clear corners for ricers, or will they look good on my camaro? The only time I ever see clear corners are on riced out hondas, but they might look good on my car. I'm just curious to see what fellow LS1 owners think of these. Also, aren't they illegal?

I dont think they are rice but I dont personally like the look of them. If you like it then you should do it. I have heard a lot of them are cheap and break easily so be careful. A lot of guys here have or have had them as well.

At first I refused to put them on because I thought it was a ricer look but when I put them on I felt it added a touch to the Camaro. I think the clear lens look good.

Actually, they are illegal in Texas, because you removed the yellow reflector. In Texas, you can have a white or amber turn signal, but you must have the yellow reflector. Here is the actual state code for the lights, I'll post the relfector section when I find it, there are an assload of transportation codes.
§ 547.324. TURN SIGNAL LAMPS REQUIRED. (a) Except as
provided by Subsection (b), a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer,
or pole trailer shall be equipped with electric turn signal lamps
that indicate the operator's intent to turn by displaying flashing
lights to the front and rear of a vehicle or combination of vehicles
and on that side of the vehicle or combination toward which the turn
is to be made.
(b) Subsection (a) does not apply to a passenger car or
truck less than 80 inches wide manufactured or assembled before the
model year 1960.
(c) Turn signal lamps:
(1) shall be mounted at the same level and spaced as
widely apart as practicable on the front and on the rear of the
vehicle; and
(2) may be included as a part of another lamp on the
vehicle.
(d) A turn signal lamp shall emit:
(1) a white or amber light, or a color between white
and amber, if the lamp is mounted on the front of the vehicle; or
(2) a red or amber light, or a color between red and
amber, if the lamp is mounted on the rear of the vehicle.
(e) A turn signal lamp must be visible in normal sunlight at
a distance of:
(1) at least 500 feet from the front and rear of the
vehicle if the vehicle is at least 80 inches wide; and
(2) at least 300 feet from the front and rear of the
vehicle if the vehicle is less than 80 inches wide.
Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995.

Clear corners I really think it depends on what color car you have but overall I think they add a good distinction to the LS1s. I was VERY pleased with mine and really easy to install. (Take out your headlight b4 installing!) I haven't had one issue as far as the law goes...One the other hand im a little hesitant to put the Altenza rear lights on my car...borders rice IMO :/ Best of luck!

I have had my 02 since Nov 0f 01. Clear corners in Jan. And I run clear bulbs, IMO looks a **** load better on a red car than the stock orange lenses and no hassles from the cops at all.

I wish I could register my car in Nebraska sometimes
They may be illegal, but aren't most illegal things the best?
