Post Opinion? LED clear corners or JDM clear corners

I have money for some clear bumper lenses. I was thinking about the custom LED's on a website or the JDM ones that are raised a little bit. Which would you guys get and why? Thanks for the responses.

I like the more OEM look of the JDM lights. Besides, that raised portion makes it more visible. I have seen the orange version of the JDM light, and I like the profile that it has. If you have a source for JDM clears, let me know. I haven't had any luck with finding a set.

on cars like rush's i like the stock best, but on the burgandy type paint the clears work better. on jade cars clears might make it look like dodge neon quality (havent seen it, just imagining) and on blue ... same thing. so i guess the jdm's.

The Super Clear Taiwanese ones (the ones you see sold here in the USA) with or w/o LED's look RICE in my opinion. They look like typical low quality "altezza" lights...I had a set (got it for free) and I tossed them cuz they looked so bad...

If you guys are thinking about clear corners (and don't want to do them yourself), I'd suggest the D-Speed clear corners. Genuine JDM parts... cost an arm and a leg for clear corners, but maybe worth it?

i have the D-SPEED clears and i absolutely love them! to me, the custom clears from that site and the ones that are homemade doesn't look too nice. JMHO. they look clean, but i'd prefer the JDM ones.

They look great, but for me I like the original shape of the JDM Soarer markers (with the side portion protruding a tiny bit)...

The price you'll see these D.Speed clear corners are around $140.

Call me crazy, but look what I just did to my set...

Nice corners there ACleanSC4! I like the look of those ones, however in Australia they cost around AUD$310 (USD$190 or so).

I found some clear corners for a JZZ30. They are USED. I dont know what they want for them i saw them in a used car parts mag and it asks to call for the price. Sometimes the parts are NEW.

The body shop down the street from my house has the Orange ones just like the picture USED.

If your interested give me a PM and what a good price is for you. If I know whats good I will make them an offer for you.

Are the headlights diffrent in Japan from the ones on U.S. soarers. I know the Aristos are. The body shop has these but the are not in great shape and has mirrors.

That shop has lots of things but the owner forgets whats what and for what year. OLD AGE LOL
