"True clear corners" link&pics inside

These clear corner were installed by the body shop after my little fended bender. They were really ****ed off after they ordered the new one and it turned out yellow !!!! - I told them - the only thing i will accept is clear ones and i don't care where and how they get them - so they did and they sure look nice - the pic don't do them justice though.

here is the link page 8 of my domain site

them guys were pita to deal with

I know i shouldn't mention their name , but Gerber network
I will ask them when i drop off the car again - the paint on the hood is flaking already
They do look nice and clear - the front lense is almost glass like quality - looks great in person, but they are made in Taiwan and the overall quality is so so - had them out today and they looked really cheap on the inside.

Correct me if I am wrong, but you guys are talking about the clear bumper lenses right? Not the ones that are next to the headlight, but the ones right underneath it? Because, and like I said, correct me if I am wrong, those are just diamond clear bumper lenses.

No, look closely at how clear the blinker area is there are no thick horizontal lines across it and the inner reflector is ridged like the headlights...

Nick--so they didn't modify diamond clears to make them super-clear, they just bought these and they came like that?

Is the turn signal brighter and clearer with these than your old clears?

Oh, now I see! I had to go on ebay and look up the diamond clears and compare them (very closely). It does look a lil cleaner but I don't think that there is hardly a difference. All in all, I'm glad you got something different, and more power to you!

no, they bought them like that.

The guy said they got them from car boutique - i tried this website - but no luck, i think whoever works in body repair industry might know what i'm talking about , i'm pretty sure they got them from those body catalogs with replacement parts

Problem is that when you have really clear lenses...you end up seeing too much of the orange bulb which wrecks the look.

just put clear lights in them, no need for the amber ones, sure white blinkers are illegal but who cares a ticket is worth the look of white light matching the headlights

lights look real nice
