Smoked/Clear Corners and LED's installed <PICS> Alright, got the smoked/clear corners with LED's installed today. I've got a bunch of pics so here goes.
Installation was a cinch, removed headlights and stock corners and swapped in new ones. Before putting them in, drilled a 1/16" hole in the corners for drainage (just in case).
My comments:
-Not very noticeable in the DAYTIME like stock ones were
-Nice relflection even with LED's though
-Appearance is WAY better than stock
-Have to buy an electronic flasher ($10) cause they don't blink with the LED's
Picture 1 is all the garbage and water that came out of the stock corner on drivers side.
Picture 2 is up close view of smoked/clear installed on drivers side w/ Halo
Picture 3 is driver side with smoked/clear and passenger side stock (unlit)
Picture 4 is driver side with smoked/clear and passenger side stock (lit)
Picture 5 is both smoked/clear (lit)

The best picture that shows the LED's brightness is Picture 5. Picture 4 must've had the flash on cause you can see that the drivers side (with LEDs) is brighter in picture 4 than in 5

Yeah, I thought I had taken a picture comparing the bulb with the LED in the smoked/clear corners but couldn't find it. The bulb looked more yellow than amber, and was not as bright as stock either. So that being the case, I went with the LEDs cause they looked the correct color. Anyways, I'm not sure how I feel about them not being as bright, but I definitely like the look of them better than stock. I can't even see the reflection off the car in front of me anymore

Which LED's did you use?
Tower or Wedge?
