I have the "diamond-clear corners" from pro-car parts.com. I like them alot they give the car an updated look. Now I just wish someone would make a updated headlight inserts.
I would keep your DRL, they look good on F-Bodies and Vettes IMO.

show me a car that does not have an amber reflector on the front of it.

normally car makers do the lights, and reflector in one, to cut costs. But your right, the more expensive cars, have clear lenses, amber bulbs. ...but they also have a amber reflector on the front somewhere.

but all cars sold in the US have at least 1 amber reflector on the front, and some kind of red reflector on the back (commonly the taillights are reflectors too)

I know... my first reply listed as such.

normally car makers do the lights, and reflector in one, to cut costs. But your right, the more expensive cars, have clear lenses, amber bulbs. ...but they also have a amber reflector on the front somewhere.
This is why they are illegial when installed on a f-body, without the addition of a amber reflector on the front of the car, (which defeats the whole purpose of the clear corners anyway, as the car is no longer clean looking)
