Default Clear corner lights
Why do people try to remove the amber from the corner lights. Is it a heat issue, bulbs last longer? Mine have been working perfectly.

To me the upgrade is a no brainer.

I bought some inexpensive clear corners off Ebay, and it REALLY updates the look of the car. I also got some of the chrome coated amber turn bulbs to make the whole front monochromatic. It's a night and day difference, very noticeable. Everyone has different taste, but to me the amber corners really make the car look old.

I agree that the fit and finish on these lenses isn't quite up to OEM standards, but it's not noticeable at all on my car once installed, and I haven't had any issues yet.

I also sold the old OEM ones on Ebay and was able to recoup a few dollars, so the whole mod cost me around $30 out of pocket.

bah, i don't like the clears. Not only do they not fit like OEM but they take away from any definition in the front end. IMO
