Agreed. I had both Bosch and Depo clear corners. I lost one of my Bosch ones on the freeway and I put the depo one on that side -- I couldn't tell a difference at all. Literally identical in every way.

Here is one (1) for sale from the US. I like the amber better, but I just bought clears.

I ordered a set about two weeks ago from this seller...waiting for them to arrive !!
Had purchased a set last year from a forum member, but the fit was poor..
The locking tab wasn't quite long enough to sit properly in the retainer

the only thing i noticed about the depos was that the connector on my car didnt fit right on the plug that holds the bulb. But obviously thats not a big deal because i had the original plugs from my stock corners.

Umm.....what's the difference between the euro ambers, and the U.S. spec ambers? They look the same to me....are the brighter (like the euro headlights)?

I have been thinking about these corners ever since the original post, so I picked up one of the euro bosch ones at the junk yard today. It is a MUCH better color than the NA ones. I really do like it. I compared several different pairs today and I found there are three different colors.
1) Yellowish
2) orangy-yellow
3) almost orange (euro)
I was supprised at the difference in the set. Does anyone know why there were two shades to the standard NA ones?

That would make sense. There was one facelift car nearby that had all the lights pulled too. there were all different part numbers so when I just read that it clicked.
BTW, I need so many things for my car it is always easy to score something when I go looking ...

well they came today, quality seems to be good enough for corner lights.. seal on 1 side seems aged.. seal on other side seems brand new :/
1 doesn't have a socket plug instead it had a sticker... :/ will i be able to use the us connector in it? and will i have to change my bulbs?
