Euro Amber Corners for 94+ Chevy

[df2x4]

question.....does that corner lamp use an amber or clear bulb?

reason i ask is....on my Harley's we've been putting Custom Dynamics LED "pods" in the stock housings with stock lenses. we use red pods and get way better results than with clear pods through the stock red lens......my front amber turn run/turn signals use amber LED's for the same reason.

Clear bulbs seem to work better in these. I use clear bulbs in the corners of both of my trucks, even in the smoked amber corners in the red truck. Amber bulbs just seem to make them dimmer. The color of the lenses is plenty to make sure the light comes through in a nice shade of amber.

EDIT - If someone were to put LEDs in these though, I'd recommend using amber ones. I've always read that when it comes to LEDs, you ideally want the same color diodes as the lens you're putting them behind. Pretty much exactly in line with your findings on the Harley pods.

When using a PNP LED in a red housing, yes, you will get better results with a red LED than a white one.

Same with amber in an amber housing.

I think I have a disease when it comes to lighting for these trucks... I think @shovelbill might have it too.

I'm probably forgetting something but I think the lights in the parts pile are as follows:

Three new sets of the euro amber 94+ GMC corners, one new set of the smoked amber corners like what's on my red truck, one new set of clear corners like in that eBay listing I just posted (and another one of those on the way), one spare used set of Anzo 511032 parking lights, and two full sets of used OEM exterior lighting including headlights, parking lights, tails, and corners.

Not to mention a ton of random interior crap. Dome light covers, courtesy lights, sunvisor lights, etc.

My bad if I'm jacking this thread, but are you selling any of the 94+ GMC euro amber corners? And not to completely jack the thread, I did find this link. But I can't justify $70 for corner lights.

Not really trying to get rid of any of those GMC corners at the moment, sorry. Just ended up with some spares.

Those smoked amber Chevy corners are nice, look like exactly what I have in the red truck. I'd probably pay that price if I didn't already have a spare set. I really like them. Thanks for sharing the link!

I wonder if the smoked is a spray on finish that could be sanded off? I really want a set of amber clears

It's not. The tint is part of the plastic on these.

Some of the GMC amber euro corners have popped back up on ebay.

I'm still looking for a set of Chevy ones.

Why do they always have to use the wrong picture?? Really makes me want to buy a set just to make sure they're not for Chevys, but I've been down that road before and the listing itself was right.

Thanks for the heads up, just bought a set. Not sure if I'm going to run them, but at least wanted the option

I'm in the same boat. I may run the GMC grille just for the corners!!
