Got my clear corners in today and had them installed in 10 minutes flat.
Here's how they turned out.

Thanks for the compliments...
They were an eBay special.

Seller shipped them the day after I paid from California and I had them in Maryland in 3 days. Couldn't have asked for more.

Couldn't be easier. Just use a small flat head screwdriver to pop out the old ones. Start by inserting the screwdriver at the rear most end of the light, and the whole thing pretty much pops out. Then you just pop out the bulb assembly and insert it in the new light. Insert the forward most portion of the new light and then let the rear just click in. Really, a blind man with one hand could do it.

just an FYI, I had the clear corners from ebay for about month and they would get water in them and fog up. Not sure if they were defective or that's just how they are. I changed to Euro strips shortly thereafter.

I'll keep a look out for that. The hole in the back for the bulb assembly is the only point of entry into the inside of the lamp. On mine, the bulb assembly has a gasket around it where it meets the back of the light and it twists in and locks. So it seals up pretty good. I'll definately keep a look out though. Thanks for the heads up.

I found the clear corners to have somewhat brittle mounting clips. I have had to reinforce them with a plastic-epoxy and aluminum after they cracked. I have also replaced the bulbs with silvered-amber bulbs to get rid of the yellow cast the clear corners had when the bulbs were not lit.

I left the clear bulbs in instead of using the amber ones that come with the clear corners. So I don't have the problem of yellow showing through when the lights are off. And the clear corners I bought do not have brittle mounting clips. Mine are the same quality as the OEM's I took out. They look, smell, taste, act just the like the OEMs.

To each their own though. . . . . .

It was made by Depo, which is a popular manufacturer of clear corners for other makes of cars. Clear corners > stock ambers
