Clear Corners - Best Place to Buy

Anyone have any good suggestions for where to pick up a set of clear corners? I'd prefer a set of standard clear corners....meaning not the black ones or the smoked ones, as I'd prefer for there to be no yellow reflectors inside them. Basically I want them to be the same color as my headlights. However, I'm interested in all suggestions.

....interested in all vendor options, including ebay if anyone has any experience with different vendors.

Thanks in advance.

Hard to beat that price, but the reflector patch isn't amber, not sure if that's a deal killer for me or not.

I just bought and installed those exact ones. They look great.

I bought the stealth bulbs which don't look amber until they light up.

Do a search on this forum and you'll find exactly what you're looking for. This is a really easy to do mod that looks great in my opinion!!

Hey Ron, any pics by chance? ....and are they holding up well?

Thanks James....I actually prefer the reflector to not be amber, so that's exactly what I was looking for....just wanted someone to provide some feedback if they've purchased from particular sellers, etc.

I have those as well except in the smoke, they fit great (better than ones at StangMods from what I've read) and are quite cheap.

Excellent. Thanks everyone!

So did you guys buy the bulbs from StangMods, or is there another option? I'm guessing my local autoparts store only has the amber bulbs and not the stealth bulbs.

I got the StangMods one but was unhappy with the light output (almost invisible in daytime, at least with the smoke lenses) (I'll send em to you if you want) but went LED:

No pics yet and I just put 'em on, so I can't say how well they'll hold up. Sorry.

Also, Jed's install thread is what I used, however I was able to get the inner wheel well cover off without removing the wheels. Just make sure you have a really small screwdriver for the fasteners. I used a 90 degree one. Saved a ton of time by NOT jacking up and removing the wheel!!

Thanks Guys.

Hey Josh, How much would you want for the stealth bulbs? It might be worth giving them a shot with the clears. If they don't work, I can still go with the LED's later. With the LED's, is anything other than just the LED bulbs needed?....or are they plug-n-play just like the traditional lights?

Same here, tried the Switchback, not consistent, I believe they need a certain sized resistor to present the same load to the flashing circuit, and didn't want to mess with it. Went with straight LEDs, and they work great, very bright, more yellow than orange.

I bought resistors for the Switchback's from HID guy which have never worked. I've even taken them to a shop and they couldn't get them work either, at this point I think I'm giving up.

I have LED's on the corners and and a stock bulbs for the blinker which look amber an night in-contrast to the LED's.
The idea was to get the whole corner light to match the HID's.

Here are some shot of what it looks like at night.
It rained the night before so my car is a bit dirty.

No amber in it at all. It is considered to be the "Euro" look.

Are those the same as the eBay ones? They look similar. I think I'm going to go ahead and order a set, as I definitely wanted to eliminate the amber look....and I'm hoping to get my ride outta storage in about a month or two...and start my spring mods.
