Default D-speed clear corners problems

I have the d-speed clear corners and would like to see if other people are having problems with them also. I have seen MANY sets go yellow. I assumed it was because of the light bulbs used but unfortunately that wasn't the problem. My friends have had hyper white bulbs turn the clear corners yellow. I stuck with amber bulbs and they also went yellow. An unusual situtation came about when the lens literally fell off my friend's car while he was on the freeway. If anyone has any problems please feel free to respond.

What kind of bulbs are they using? Maybe the bulbs they're using are too high a wattage and burning the clear plastic. I've had mine for about 6 months and had no yellowing. I used an amber bulb with the correct wattage.

As I mentioned above, I used the amber bulb and there is still yellowing.

I used the bulbs that came with the set with no problems.

Not to get off your topic ... but I need clear corners for my 1995 SC300, and the only D-Speed site I can find is the jp site. Did you buy them in the US? Where? Thanks for the time.

I beleive the site is http://www.takakaira.co.jp

now about that prob.. I've had them since august and they are fine. The bulbs I use are amber LEDs which look clear when they are not on... I'll double check next time to be sure, but haven't seen any color changes on the D-speeds.

I've had them for more than a year and a half. My friends, who are often on CL have also had them for a long time. Any long time users have these problems?
