Made my own clear corners.

It was quite easy actually. First all you have to do it take out your corner signals to take out your regular corners. They aren't held in by screws or anything just a little clip. Push the clip in and out pops the corner (you'll know what I mean when you get inside your bumper).
Second the amber color that's inside there is glued in pretty good. I had to break mine apart to get it out. Try not just to break it into 1000 pieces because you need to make a trace of it. once out take what ever material your going to be using and trace it out. What I used it the cover that goes over Hallogen ligts. I think you can also get some clearish whiteish plastic at Home depot or something like that. Now make your trace. To cut it out I used my dremel tool. I took the cutting blade out and cut out the corner. To smooth everything off I took the dremel tool and replaced the cutting tool with a sanding end. I sanded down all the rough edges and made it look nice. The fitting is kind of a pain because it has to be perfect or else it's going to look like crap. Once you got your corner all sanded down and it fits nicely and stays in. Take some clear silicon and run a bead of it all the way around. Ok now your thinking this looks like shit. But take your finger and smooth it all out. So that's its barely noticable, and so that any silicon gets in the cracks and holds the corner in place. Also siliconing to make sure any water and dirt don't get in behind the corner and make it look bad. Then install. It makes quite a difference and looks hella good. Try it out!!! Advice. Take your time!

I made my own clear corners by just simply breaking the amber part of the lense out of the light. That was it, that simple.

Nope, broke the amber part out and reinstalled the light in the car. It's clear and hasn't had a problem in well over a year.

Here is a pic of the corner light... Click the link, printroom won't let you link pics to this site for some reason.

ahhh, the bumper lenses. I don't have any on my car. The aftermarket kit doesn't have them. Those are just reflectors if I'm not mistaken. I just painted the one's on my stock bumpers black.
