Default Clear Corners...easy to install?

I'm thinking about going to get the OEM clear corners for my GSR today. I think the dealer sells them for $99 plus tax (CDN). I have a few questions...

With and orange bulb inside them, are they legal?

How hard are they to install? What do I need?

Are the OEM corners any good, or should I save some money and buy a no name brand?


TIA
Ohlias

P.S. If this is in the wrong forum, I'm sorry. I consider this to be "Integra Basics"

I think with orange bulbs inside them they are legal. But the rules are different state-state, so I'm not sure how the rules are on Canada.

The corners are VERY easy to install. Philips screwdriver is all you need.

Save the cash, go with a no name brand that is like $30 USD. Autodynamics.com is where I got mine from.

I have a noname clear corner brand and they fit terrible. But I don't want to pay $100 for OEM ones. How do the ones from autodynamics fit?

Damn... $99 for clear corners seems a little pricey to me.

You can get them of Ebay for $20-30 CAD.

I've "heard of people" in TO getting tickets for blue/white indicators but I don't think it's common.

And yes, they're super easy to install.

Here is a pics of the ones from http://secure15.dellhost.com/~d30022...nses_acura.htm



$24.95. Can't beat that...

The fit fine for me. They are a tiny bit loose, but fit good enough for me (and I'm pretty ****).

HTH.

I believe questions like these belong at SHO. heh heh heh...

Go cheap! I paid 5 dollars for mine..you really can't tell if they fit well/bad unless you're looking straight at them. Even the stock corners had ugly gaps if you looked in the right angle..

hey...

clear corner lights take about 5 minutes to take off old and put on the new. the pic of the clear corner that breaka_1_9 posted is illegal even if you have orange blubs in them. if you want legal clear corners you need to get the CC that has the reflective material inside. half of the clear corner which faces foward can be clear as a window but the other half which faces (not sure hhow to put this) umm 90 degress from the front needs to have that reflective material for it to make it legal, if you dont have it, then its illegal for on road use.
