Default Need help with corners

I have a 2001 black gs-r and want to get clear corners for it. I want to do it all black. My friend showed me this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1
My question is If I get black corners, will they be as bright when I turn on the lights?

i like the clear (non-chrome) corners myself (and i'm rockin em) ... my only complaint is that the ebay ones aren't exactly .. good quality. most ppl wouldn't notice from a distance, but up close, you can tell the quality sucks.

just bake your corner in an over at 200deg. and check on them periodically so they don't deform then you can seperate the lens from the housing then paint the inside with plastikote primer then black engine enamel boom your done

if you are going to get black ones then get some clear corners and paint them with hobby paint. at a hobby store they have black window tint paint. its a transparent black paint. there is a black gsr on here with some and it looks hot.
here is a thread of his car. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=693069

those corners look cheap not cool. mantis do what i said and you'll be happy trust me. bake them for 200deg. check them after 5min. spread them apart from the housing paint the housing black then bake the housing and the lens and stick them together.

ok I decided to get clear corners first. Whats the best place to get them? Ebay? How much did you guys pay for yours?

I dont feel so sure about "baking" them. Gona see how clears look on them first before I go black
