Default Anyone have clear corners? APC, Depo, etc

I have a 94 Accord Wagon and I'm looking to purchase some clear corners and bumper blinkers.

Was wondering if anyone else on here has a set and how they like them? APC clear corners look pretty good, but I haven't seen them next to a normal stock headlight or read about poor build quality. Depo's look great, but I read about fitment issues. Not sure about the "crystal clear" brand on ebay aswell

I'm 99% sure that the box of mine said APC, but I'm not positive. The ones I have are from the store "2020option" on eBay. Mine are much clearer than my current headlights, but I'm hoping once I polish my headlights I can get the colors to match. The fitment wasn't near as good as the stocks, and I had to slightly bend them to get them to fit. Also the rubber lining that comes on them didn't overlap so you can see where the lens is glued to the plastic housing. I'm probably gonna get some new rubber lining and re-do it. For 18$ thats about what I expected, they aren't really that bad though. I can show you a picture if you'd like. If I were you though, I'd save up 200 or so for a pair of JDM blackhousing I think they're called.

Meh, clear corners are old and busted. As for '94s this was the only year that had the full on amber corner. '95-'97 were clear with just a small amber reflector. Maybe look into a set of those rather than some ricey/pricey corners when you can get the same effect with some stock units out of the yard for a few bucks.

I'm 99% positive the clear corners and clear bumper lights that came on my 94 when I bought it were APC brand and were complete junk IMO. They haze and crack real bad in a short amount of time and the adhesive is garbage. The outer lense cover on the corner lights practically fell off one day. I replaced the bumper lights with the OEM amber ones that I got for free and planned on finding some OEM corners as well eventually. It's my beater but I hated the ricey/cheap look of the clear lights.

To each his own though....

Never rocked apc but I've had a couple sets of depos. The depo crystal clear corners looked ricey imo, and didn't flow with the headlights. The depo amber corners look alot better and the fitment is pretty tight. It doesn't stick out like some you see on civics and other cars.

Thanks for the replies. One of my amber bumper lights needs replacing. I'm just gonna get clear bumpers and leave the corners. My 93 Legend LS Coupe had clear bumper lights stock and I liked them. Just figured clear corners would compliment them on q white car. I don't like the look of the JDM black housing on a white car
