Clear Corner Bumper lights

i just put on the clear corner bumper lights in the dark last night. they look 100% better than the orange ones. it was pretty simple but the one on the passenger side is not flesh. but the one on the driver side is perfect. if anyone has a solution to this i would like to know. i would like to post up a picture of this but i dont know how. if you would like to tell me how to do this please tell me.
thanks
scott

i am trying to sell the stock ones (orange) for 10 to 15 dollars hit me up if anybody wants them.

Last time I checked there was a link in the How To section...i'll check and see if its still there. But yeah, you need a flat head screw driver, and then you sort of pop open one side of the light, and then you'll see a screw holding the other piece. as you can see i cant explain very well... lemme go find the link.

are they clear corners or diamond cut clear corners? oh yea to fix your problem, take out the stock white grommet thats in there, and use the ones that were provided. then push them in.. and if you want to secure them so no one steals them. unscrew the screw that connects the white grommet, and screw it on from behind. and tighen it

I just received a pair of diamond clears from makoto auto trends on eBay. I'm curious, is it legal for turn signals to blink in white rather than amber/orange? Or, am I just missing something here?

Thanks

PS I assume these are also the ones that are notorious for leaking... feedback?

Do yours blink in white? And, do you know if it's legal? It seems all new cars have white blinker covers but blink in amber.

i'm fairly certain that in the rear you cannot have a white light (aside from parking/reverse) but I don't know about legality in the front. just use an amber 1156 and be done with it; you wont get bothered by any cops then. it will also be much more visible, where white might blend in w/ your headlights (i know with my piaa's it's hard enough to even see my amber blinkers)

From what i've heard, White and Amber (yellow/orange) are legal up front, and Amber and Red in the back. At least thats what it is around here. I dont know if its a federal law or varies from town to town. Anyway, was it really that hard to install those lights? Wouldn't it be the exact opposite of how you took the old ones off? I'm not trying to be mean, but was it that bad? But anyway, I'm using the Sylvania Silverstar 1156s that look almost blue but light up yellow, i saw them and thought they were pretty cool...
