Default Clear corner lights

Why do people try to remove the amber from the corner lights. Is it a heat issue, bulbs last longer? Mine have been working perfectly.

No they do not fit well, the drivers side fits pretty good but the passengers side doesnt fit very well there are gaps and it doesnt fit like OEM not even close.

To me the upgrade is a no brainer.

I bought some inexpensive clear corners off Ebay, and it REALLY updates the look of the car. I also got some of the chrome coated amber turn bulbs to make the whole front monochromatic. It's a night and day difference, very noticeable. Everyone has different taste, but to me the amber corners really make the car look old.

I agree that the fit and finish on these lenses isn't quite up to OEM standards, but it's not noticeable at all on my car once installed, and I haven't had any issues yet.

I also sold the old OEM ones on Ebay and was able to recoup a few dollars, so the whole mod cost me around $30 out of pocket.

bah, i don't like the clears. Not only do they not fit like OEM but they take away from any definition in the front end. IMO
