I cracked one of my cloudy corners so I decide to replace them with Diamond cut corners. Here's some pics I took of them.

Now people can really see the differences between Diamond Cut corners and the original Cloudy clears. The difference is subtle but noticable, especially from the side.

excellent post...I actually thought I didnt get the right kind of diamond corners, but I guess I did. I like the Diamond Corners, only thing is you can see the bulb more. Anyways excellent post thanx.

Get a can of high temp silver or chrome spray paint and spray a very misty, light coat over the orange bulbs, it will take away some of the orange reflection of the bulbs in the clears... Has anyone here tried it out? I know on bimmerforums, there was a good writeup on it

Then you get slapped with a fine I live in Ottawa and over here anything goes for flashers, but for trips up to the states, some may need to keep them orange as it's the law in some states

i have to confess this and this seems like a good place when i see a Maxima with the orange corners i feel like buying diamonds for the caR and replacing those fugly orange things i sometimes just want to sit by the car and wait for the owner so i can give em the 50 bucks to change em (yea i guess i have problems)

Since I've installed them, I've noticed that they are alot different then the cloudy corners.

I think the main differences are:
- The Diamond cuts have a chrome style paint inside the entire housing whereas the cloudy corners only have the back end painted chrome/mirror style.
- And type of lense is more clear with less cuts.

Has anyone thought of trying to make Diamond style rears? Maybe paint the inside of the rear with a chrome type paint and then try to get a similar plastic instead of the common flouresent light stuff?

APC makes the bulbs with a silver tint coating on the amber bulbs. I tried these, but they are not as bright, though, when flashing. Also, you must be careful in touching them, because the film rubs off if your hands are oily!
