Default Clear corners

Hello all
New to this forum. I have been looking to purchase clear corners for my 96 GS300. I have searched on Ebay, Carson Toyota, and numerous sites as well as search engines. Can someone please help out and point me in the right direction? Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks

there are no clear corners for our cars. But you can remove the orange yourself, i wrote a tutorial 1-2 years back. do a search for my name and clear corners.

Yeah dude... well worth doing. The ride looks so much sweeter. I recommend doing the DIY LexAristo came up with so that the corner bulbs don't come on when the headlights are on too. They only come on when you signal or you put your hazards on.

I'm still looking for a bulb that's clear but is orange/amber when lit.

Those bulbs are a waste of money. Go with LED's or bulbs that are coated with metallic paint on the top half....you'll get better results with those over chrome colored bulbs.

would the LED's make your blinker blink faster due to the different wattage now? if you think the chrome bulbs are a waste of money LED cost way more than that. i think last time i saw them they were like 30 bucks each or 30 bucks a pair. i forgot.

I'm not sure if they do have them but when you compare $20-30 for leds and $8 dollars for bulbs; you don't need an LS to figure that one out.... Also with a chrome bulb, since you clear your headlight out it's chrome on the inside.So you really cant tell where the bulb is.It kind of blends in with the rest of the head light.We have to remember that clearing out the yellow is for looks, not lighting...
