Default Clear Corners is there a good brand...

My damn corner light fell out yesterday and I drug it for a few miles... I musta missed the nut when I put the screw in the other day after cleaing my filter..

Anyway I guess I am just gonna put some clear corners on I think they look pretty clean. Are just the ones on Ebay OK or is there a good brand.. I dont know much on appeance stuff so I thought I would ask... SO I dont buy some junk..

Thanks
Tanner

depends if you're a jdm freak or just want clear... Don't buy some homemade **** from ebay or whatever they sell. I'd run clears again but then people would look at me... choices

I don't use my clears anymore...but just get some cheapo's on ebay. Mine worked fine and looked good. The only prob was the little pice that slides into the slot to hold it in was too small for a snug fit. I just put some duct tape around it until it was wide enough to fit right.

I doubt that APC bumper lights would be any worse than any other brand. I bought a pair at NOPI last year, in an unmarked box, so I have no idea what brand mine are. Before installing mine I went around the edges of the lenses w/ some silicone sealant to ensure that it would not leak.

Is there any preference in getting the more frosted clear corners or the ones that are just clear with reflectors.
They would be going on a silver gs if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

I have a silver integra too, and I have the Euro clears, which are the ones with no reflector. I was kinda worried after I bought them, because I read on here that if they don't have the reflector, the lens won't light up completely or something like that...but my lens light up fine. Overall, I like them a lot, it makes the front end look so much better than the amber corners, because it gives it a cleaner look. I can send you a pic if you want, just let me know.

If your car is lowered, don't spend too much money on these things. Inevitably, they will get cracked from bottoming out or they will fog up.

dude if you are cracking your corner lenses from bottoming out either yours are dragging on the ground or your car is low enough to be like 6 inches UNDERGROUND. those things are up IN the bumper...how the hell can you mess them up bottoming out? when you bottom out you hit the bottom of the car.....not the front face of the bumper.

The one savailable at pep boys work just fine, and you don't have to get them shipped. Pretty friggen convenient.

BTW, there isn't any clear corner out there the quality of OEM, but ****, these things do get stone chips in them, so replacement every year or two if your **** is common.
