I think the clears with the bumperettes look pretty good.
I have the 'stealth' bulbs. They are amber but have a silver coating so that you cannot see the bulb thru the clear lens.

What's your opinion on the quality of the clear corners from Better Bodies?

Do they appear to be modified euro corners or manufactured as US spec clear corners?

I personally think the quality is very good (my opinion). I guess under close inspection you may notice that they were modified but once installed, I'd say they look the same.

I ended up getting these amber LEDs (3 Watt high power) for my clear corners.
The integrated lens creates super wide 320 degree viewing angle eliminating hot spots and maximizing assembly housing illumination.
I am using similar (red) LEDs for the rear.
Ofcourse a LED flasher is required.

I read somewhere that you can get a dual color led bulb for the corners so the running lights are all whit,but it blinks orange for a turn signal.
Anyone familiar with this?
Similar to this.....

Good fit and finish.

My only issue is the chrome covered bulbs supplied don't light that bright.

Looks fine at night but no that great in daytime.

A minor issue that's easily rectified with a trip to AZ for some brighter amber bulbs and a misting of chrome spray paint
To be clear, the bulbs I am talking about are the "stealth bulbs" as referred to above. Chrome plated to avoid the fried egg yolk look but lights up amber.

Check out Tore Bergvil's site for 993 leds. They are brilliant (pun intended) and no fried eggs in the clear fronts.

TOTALLY!!

Pags, don't do this brother!! I got these lights with the car in a parts bin. They had cracks and were blatantly of the Chinese variety. In my defence; it was the first "mod" I read about so I decided to do it..Man, that's the worst thing ever! I threw them out right away!

Are you sure about that? See avatar...

These clear corners are not cut down.
