Default Integra Clear Bumper Lenses

I'd like to finally replace the orange covers of the front turn signals, but I am having a bit of trouble trying to find the right item.

For those of you who have purchased this, where did you get it from? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Are you going to put amber bulbs in there??

Clear corners are a heat score - cops around here give you tickets for those.

OK, what am I missing here? Did I say something wrong? I admit I don't visit here often, but WTH?

This is all I am talking about:

I think the car looks great, very clean, IMO. And everyone is jumping on me like I'm some riceboy who asked if he could put a bunch of stickers all over his car.

clear corners are a cosmetic item which everyone has an opinion on.

most dislike them these days (in addition to threads asking for opinions on appearance/cosmetic items)

whatever floats your boat man - it's your car

Nothing wrong with clear corner lenses, just make sure you buy the darkest amber bulb you can find (at a higher wattage wouldn't hurt either).

In daylight, you can barely see them blink when signaling with the cheapo APC clears.

I had clears on my car till I cracked one...
I might get them again... to avoid po's just put an amber bulb in there but it's kinda hard to work with cus the way some of the clears are done the amber bulb color does not match up so it looks wierd. Then you have to rewire the blinker so that the blinker is always lit so that the bulb color will match.. but then you no longer have a front blinker unless u turn the parking lights off. I figure there is probably a clear corner that is produced better so that the bulb colors will match better without having to rewire the bulb but I don't know specifically.

Anyone know of a clear corner without the different color problem. I think I tried fiddling with more powerful bulbs to but with no success.

I was just joking man The one thing i don't like though is when you can't see the dam things during the day like tommy gunns said. Whats the point in having a turn signal if noone can see the dam thing blinking right?

I don't know who makes them but if you do get some make sure you get good ones that won't fog up and look like crap.

I got mine off ebay... look for "jdm" or "jdm bumper lenses..." in order to get the black housing and clear lens. I'd prefer a tinted lens too, but it's illegal. So I'll have to apply a tint film to them on my own. Here's how they look right now - I just use amber bulbs to keep the popo away:



.....and on the car:

just outa curiosity why are they under JDM? but yea that black housing looks nice, does anyone have those on a yellow R?
I think those black ones will still have uneven glow though.. look how the entire black one is clear no reflectors in the side marker like the OEM one.. do they have clears with that reflector in the side marker?

The standard AusDM lights up perfectly with the stock orange globes. I'm assuming you will be using the Honda light assembly or are you using an aftermarket version? As for light bulbs - you guys wouldn't have any problems getting amber ones locally would you? If not I can probably source some for you here.

Does the AusDM one come with clears? We can get the bulbs.. I think it's the clear corner themselves and the reflector in the sidemarker that makes the mismatch? do u have a picture of ur clear corner?

Everything is under "JDM" because it's the current fad, gets more hits, and will sell quicker and for more $$$$$
