Whats the point of clear corners?
Why have clear corners if they come with amber bulbs 
? They are on all the time when the car is running. Let me know. If you can talk me into them, i might be interested in a set for my Z in sig.

Really it all lies in preference, but the point is to just make the car look, I dunno, "cleaner." Having red and amber bulbs in them has to do with legal issues. The housings themselves can legally be clear, but the light they emit has to be amber in the front and red in the rear. (correct me if I'm wrong)

I thought you couldn't have clear rears with out somekind of red reflector over the lights inside. I dont know, some cars look ok with clear corners. Does kinda make for a clean look on the white and black cars.

But to answer your question...the fronts I bet would take less than 10 minutes.

Anyways, I think clear corners look good on any color car, thats just my personal preference though some people don't care for them at all. Anyways install is quite easy should take you about half hour or so for your first time. You have to go under the car and remove the panels from each side which are held in by like 8 10mm bolts. Once you remove the panel you can access the turn signal housing. Remove the 3 8mm bolts and pull the housing out and put the new clear housing in, reverse the process. I think I got the bolt sizes correct I just did this again a few weeks ago and I already forgot, lol. Anyways for the price I think it makes a huge difference in the way the front of the car looks. I love my clear corners. I actually had the regular clears for a while and just switched to the diamond clears. I got them on ebay for pretty cheap like 25-30 bucks something like that. Just buy them they are cheap and look sweet.

I have diamond clear corners / hyperwhite bulbs/ DRL mod. I think it looks pretty sweet. I am working on a way to make my turn signals legal, by using the amber parking lights as a turn signal:

I have clear corners on my car....I think with my white paint job the clears look awesome. I also bought the chrome bulbs that shine orange when they are on. I have had nothing but compliments from them

its preference.. like on mine, a silver SS, it looks a lot smoother I think than a huge ugly bright orange strip..
SILVER SS
now on a red or other dark car, you would notice a white stip more than the yellow, so its just what color you have and what you prefer.. I don't like the rainbow effect that the red and amber lights give to a car, they are there soley for legal purposes...

get the ones with the clear front, instead of the frosted. The ones that look like a window rather than the cloudy ones. They look much cleaner. After that you should try and turn off the daytime runners, then they will always be clear. I've got them on my ride if you want to look under my webshots. I just picked them up on ebay. One side went really quick but the other made me want to kill someone. Not all camaro's are the same, your blinkers could come out very easy or very hard.

I jsut read in another post that a guy bought clear corners and installed them and he didn not realize that he needed to buy 2 more amber bulbs because the front of this corners were amber, and the back half was red. This isn't my case is it? Or do I need 2 more amber bulbs?

I was looking at these ones on ebay. How can I disconnect daytime running lamps?
