    So. Whenever I drive around and I see clear corner lights, on all trucks, I think damn, those look good!

    I have the orange reflector (stock) corner lights and Im kind of sick of them. Id obivously keep both pairs if I wanted to swap them out or whatever.

    But what are your thoughts.

    Or is there a way to remove the reflector thing?

    Just do what i did. I tinted the orange part and it looks good, and it is cheaper than new corners.

    Also I dont think it can be removed without breaking seal.

    I thaught about getting clear corners also... But just thaught it wasnt worth it. And Plus everyone has them, and i really dont mind the stock ones. But who knows, I might get bored enough to switch it up...:)

    Id agree in some cases, but that bright ass orange reflector just doesnt go good with all the silver i have on my truck.

    My truck is silver, the grill plate, my wheels, exhaust tip. and then BOOM a big ol' orange reflector ahaha.

    i bought them for like $27 on ebay. I think the fewer colors you have the cleaner the truck looks. I want to get a set of the clear/red tails and paint the top with a clear red to get rid of all the amber on my truck.

    I like mine, looks clean. I only got them because one of the stock ones had condensation in it. Glad I got them now though.

    I think I have these Ebay clear corners on mine, was already on the truck when I bought it used. They are real cheapy feeling compared to OEM but they look better because of the clear reflector. I have an orange bulb so at night it looks like I have orange reflectors.

    Clear looks better... have to decide if it's worth the PITA or $$$ it sounds like it'd be to make it happen.

    If anyone finds/knows of solid amber lenses (no clear; still translucent) for the corners, post it...I can't find any.

    The clear does look better, and I did run clear corners in my old vehicle for a number of years with no issues.

    However, everyone should know that removing the amber reflector is removing a US DOT vehicle requirement. Every vehicle has them for safety reasons. Therefore you could be subject to fix-it-tickets from peace officers...
