actually the normal setup is "only" 300 bucks. the dual light setup is more expensive

keep in mind, I said "only" coz' i can't afford that myself too, lol

I got them too. Look exactly the same as Mark's (GSxotic) however my are two stage LED's. The clear LED's are constantly on when driving the car, however when my blinkers are on or when I lock the car, another strip of amber LED's power up and blink. Cool mod if you ask me.

How hard is to install them? Remember reading it was a b*tch to get to them.
Bolt-on, or splicing required?

Are they as bright as stock? And do rears burn red and front amber, like they're supposed to?

Thanks guys.

They are brighter than stock. This is because of the White [and amber depending on which one you choose] LED's. They are very bright and illuminate very nicely in the evening.

To my knowledge they are a simple install, you only have to splice one wire for the turn signals which are in the headlights if you get a dual stage amber and white LED strips like me. However if you just have the white led's I think it is even simpler. I brought it to my body shop actually to get it installed when I put on my Autocouture front bumper.

They are technically illegal, I think the front corners always have to be amber in color. I don't think it matters if the color of the bulb is amber, as long as the actual housing is clear it is not legal. So a "clear" corner for cars in most states are illegal but good luck finding a cop who would actually pull you over for having one. Correct me if I'm wrong please...

And the price of them is highly justifiable imo. Mine were actually more than 300 but the quality is great and is a very great piece of product The guy at clearcorners, I believe his name is Mike is a very maticulous guy so I trust his work. It may seem like a small mod but I think it helped my car's front end to flow alot more nicely.

For the most part. Police won't pull you over for just the clear corners.
But if they are particularly pissy when they pull you over ... for other things ... they might nit pick.

Those clear corners look awesome on the white and blue.
Good work guys.
$300 for clear corners....what is the world coming to.

Hey Steve, no problem at all with clear side lenses (at least in TX), just like clear taillights, 3rd brake light, etc. The important part, I was told, is that they BURN amber in front, and red in the back. If they don't burn amber and red, then it's illegal. And both amber and red burning LEDs are available in clear, so they look perfectly clear when off, but red/amber when on. If I can't buy them like that, I'm going to pass, since they're part of the state inspection. .
White LEDs are the most expensive, so I don't understand why a $300 set of lights don't offer them in all 3 colors. Oh well. Thanks anyway.

i have seen these in person, they are very nice and very bright, much brighter than stock. the leds line up very well and it's very clear. i guess with dual stage the install is harder coz' the stock ones don't blind, that means you need some more connections. but for the price, i am not sure if i would go for the dual stage for 100 bucks more

eventually i think i will get these, but not now, everything seems to be too much of a luxury to us

I wonder if these LEDs can be tapped into the stereo system to work like a crystal globe at a disco. j/k. Those actually do not look to bad. I might have to throw that on my list of mods.
Car is looking good Mark

Hey can someone post a good picture of what they look like when the LEDs are on? I'm gonna get a set anyways but want to know if I should get the dual or single LEDs and what colors.

Thanks
