So I got my clear corner lights!

Alright i did that bright corner light mod... i thought i heard that the heat could be too bright and might crack them. Who got some leds bulbs in theirs????????? Because they don't produce as much or hardly any heat. Pics of them lit up would be nice!!!!!!

The corner lights can handle the extra heat. I'm using amber bulbs.

Very bright! Don't give the too much attention. I'd stick with amber bulbs.

I run silverstar amber bulbs in my corners at full brightness all the time. People are amazed at how much light they put out to the side of the car (yes, they are actually functional if you take notice). They are also so bright they almost hurt your eyes if they are on by themselves when it's dark out. Next to my projectors though they look dim

I've had them this way for almost a year with no cracking, btw. I'm also considering the LED bulbs in the future, just to reduce the chance of cracking and possibly add some brightness so these things are actually noticeably visible during the day.

Im not a big fan of amber bulbs... If the 32 led bulbs are too much I saw some that had 19 leds on them... I think that should work. I want that white bright looking coming out of them...

Amber corners IMO looks soo ugly! Also, the stock setup of the lights is ghey! I have mine setup to run the headlight and the corners (double filament) at the same time, both with white bulbs. I also have it so the corners dont blink with the blinkers and I have the blinker & side marker blink all white.

IMO: All white is the only way to go!

A lot think amber to be classy and hyperwhite/blue to be rice.

Yep, even the cops gave me a lingering look when I had clear bulbs when passing through a drinking/driving counterattack checkpoint one night. Thats when I decided to go incognito and put in amber bulbs. Looks very similar to those latemodel Plymouth/Dodge Caravans.

The amber corners match the amber sidemarkers in my pic above.

Which is exactly how I feel. I don't like orange HOUSINGS, but I do like orange light.

I, too, have done some rewiring. My sidemarkers blink with my turn signals now instead of coming on with the clearance lights. During the day it's not really noticeable but at night it just looks like one strip of light that stretches from the front of the car to the side. Previously I just didn't have bulbs in the sidemarkers because I think they look tacky if they're left on all the time.

I'd like to have a setup kind of like what you're talking about Tatanko except where the corners are on all the time but blink with the reg. signals cause I have Digitals Cefiro Clone in place. that might look pretty good.
