Any of the corners that you can actually see inside of, bug me. :( I've always gone for the OEM-style clear. In other words look just like factory but clear instead of amber. Had 'em even way back in '99 on my old white '92, when APC was still in the game. They looked great new but turned kind of gray-ish over the years.

If you're going with clear corners, you've gotta use the same style corners as your headlights and parking lights. The OE-style clear corners look odd to me with crystal-clear/euro-style headlights... Vice-versa.

The ebay clear light kits are okay, but the corners are junk. The bottom clearence lights also requre silicone on the bottom of the housing since they have holes in them. Dont know why the company would do that, because everytime I go mudding they fill up with lake water that splashes up from the underside. The only good things about the kit is the top lights, the rest it comes with is junk IMO. the corners start to yellow about 3 months after install, not to mention if you get dirt or mud behind them, you have to take the whole grille off and clean them. You can see my passenger side top one is yellow and the bottom one is clear, thats because the bottom one has been replaced recently. Just an example on how hazy and yellow they get..

Im not knocking them, but they require some work and/or different corners to look decent.

I completely agree, that's the main reason for me to go with Depo headlights. They look stock and will match the stock clear looking corners I did. Although I am concerned that the LED turn signals below the headlights might look funny, so I may have to get Depo's for those too and just get those silver bulbs that light up amber.

Sometimes, I wish I picked up a set of the smoked ones instead of the clear. Maybe I will get a set later on so I can swap them when I'm in the mood.

APC clears on my old '92, this is a really old and crummy pic, taken the night I brought it into the garage to do the Escalade clip swap. :) They'd already started going funky...

OK, that's probably enough IMG tags to get this post toasted...
