Smoked Corners
I bought some clear corners, LED bulbs and a can of smoke bulb paint. I plan to smoke the corners but I am wondering how well the LED's will show up with the corner markers painted. Also I found out that when I removed the drivers side front, the lighting harness was missing just the wire wrap sticking out. Anyone know how much it would be to get it replaced? I have amber and red bulbs, I don't plan on getting the white ones, they look cool, but I don't want to get pulled over.

Here's mine. I smoked the stock corners with the stock bulbs. I didn't want to 'experiment' with my clear corners. The corners will not shine as bright, but enough that they can be seen. Sorry, no night pics....

I also have my corners smoked....they shine through fine at night, but do not reflect well (used the stock corners)...you have to use an enamel paint and make sure you don't put it on too thick. my smoked lenses you can just barely see some color in bright sunlight...used Nissan Maxima black dupli-cote enamel and 2 coats of clearcoat. I had originally used smoke paint like bluesbrekr, but it didn't match the car color that well, so I cleaned them all off with turpentine and re-did it with gloss black. Match to car paint is perfect, as if it came out of the factory like that....
on a related note, you will not pass state safety inspection with them (if your state has inspection)...I learned that the hard way, although luckily I brought soonerfan's spare normal set with me just in case

Wait, you took the original orange corners and blacked them out?
And I thought I had to get clear ones first.
How many layers of the smoke paint was used?
Which brand is the best?
Prorobly sold in Autozone and Straus Auto?

1. You can smoke the stock orange and red corners and smoke them.
2. I used Dupli-color black gloss enamel and clearcoat.
3. no "layers" per se...just a light, even mist spray until the lens is blacked out.
4. Advance auto or autozone should have the dupli-color auto paints.
