Okay guys,
Tried to start a poll but it looks like there's some kind of glitch in the system or something (or some admin is tinkering with my post while I'm editing it
)
I'm pretty torn up over which set of clears to get. Please help me out. If anybody actually owns one of the sets shown, please give me your $0.02 as well. The good, the bad, and the ugly
For the record, I plan on sticking some amber bulbs (5W5, same size as original) into these clears.
Thanks guys.
Clear 1 - ebay Euro-style
Clear 2 - Kayee
Main differences I noticed are a) the bulb area for Clear 2 is textured, and b) the pattern radiates outward like a sun, as opposed to Clear 1.

Much better look than either of those two. And they're like $20, who cares which one you get, get them all!

If I were to throw in amber bulbs, it'd look pretty much identical to what I have already. I looked at those too but decided they're not what i'm looking for. Thanks for the input though The ebay ones and kayees are DIFFERENT. Look at the pattern of the back. Ebay ones have horizontal lines that run parallel. Kayees have lines that radiate outward from the bulb.

not exactly, the inside is chrome and the exterior frosted clear plastic. why would you put an amber bulb in there? just use a clear bulb. these are not flashers or turn signals, they are just lights. i run clear bulb in mine and it looks great.

i think the part number at ANY local parts store is a 17177 
:
if they don't recognize that #, have them cross it to their "competitive brand"
