Certain states require you to have the orange bulbs for the turn signal and I personally think it's a good idea for visiblity reasons. I used the clear bulbs for the side marker. Don't forget to secure the lense from the INSIDE, or they can be easily stolen. You have to remove the bottom of the wheel well plastic cover to get at it. It should take about 30 mins.
Good luck.

I have never heard of clears getting stolen. Can you give some detail on securing it?

Clear side,Orange turn

Orange for the turn signals,clear white for the sides looks cooler. I super glued my lenses to the the bumper if I need to change my bulb just pull the fender well trim back and change it.

The instructions should have come with your lenses but basically it's the front portion of the lense that you secure. Normally it just snaps into the frame of the car when installing and all that's needed to remove it is a screwdriver to pry it off and then a phillips to remove the side portion of the light. It's the front portion of the lense that you will secure from behind the fender well plastic trim. When you look at it, it'll make sense.
And believe me, if you don't secure it you ARE taking a chance of getting them stolen. I was shocked when mine were ripped off. There's a lot of low lives running around and we have to protect our possesions the best we can.
Good luck!

Don't need glue!

96BLUMAX, you don't need glue to secure the clear corners. I just used the ball part of the ball and socket that came with the clears and screwed the ball part from inside the fender into the lenses. You will need a washer in order for the ball to stay behind the plastic part of the bumper. This will prevent theft and also will make it easier for you to remove them when changing a bulb. For the bulbs, I used the 2 orange bulbs for the turning signals and bought 2 xenon blue bulbs for the corner part. You can't notice them during the day, but at night they look sweet.
