Clear Corners

[ABK1500]

What do you all think of clear corners? Also where did you get them, I haven't really been able to find any, other than the ones with the little orange thing in them. Also, headlights and turn signals?

Thanks

[ABK1500]

Also I guess I should throw out there blacked out headlights, turnsignals and corners?

[Underpowered]

what year truck are you talking about?

on NBS and NNBS truck the corner lights are made into the headlight and you have to take the headlight apart to make them clear.

on OBS and older truck, the corner lights are separate but not sure where to get clear ones.

sorry 98 k1500. OBS

I have the clear corners, and I hate them. Always fogged up, you can see the bulb. I'm changing to the stock style clear reflective ones.

[ABK1500]

Where do you all get them?

[neevnav]

eBay. And I got LED bulbs so you can't really see them now.

[SilveradoLQ9]

I do like them, but I have had a few sets that leak and dont seal up so when u wash ur truck u get water in them. I would look for a quality brand, and no ebay cheapies, the APC ones seem to work well going on 2 years in my friends hoe.

[Iceberg]

APC is a good brand u think ??

[Eric_7810]

when it comes to lights APC knows what theyre doing

[thekl0wn]

While we're on the topic... Is it really true that they're not "allowed" to manufacture the clears anymore, due to "you have to have at least one amber reflector" law? That's what I was told at a local truck shop... :dunno:

False.....APC = A Piece of Crap. Just go to Ebay and they are all over the place.

Is it possible to have clear corners, that blink orange so they are legal, yet you cant see the ugly orange bulb during the day time?

You should be able to get "chrome" bulbs... They show up as a dark chrome color and blink orange/amber.

[dalejrfan88]

I had the APC ones for almost a year and they looked brand new even after a year. Then i wrecked my truck and smashed them.......

either of you guys have part numbers, model numbers, brands, or web sites to get me started in the right direction?

....who on here has been clearing head lights / parking lights for people?

[thekl0wn]

Now, don't quote me on this, but I believe the clearing of corners is on the NBS trucks.

And no I don't have any part #'s.

[neevnav]

I got my LED bulbs from vleds. They are the surface mount style, but any will do and they are all clear.

On the OBS's, just buy some and if they leak, re-seal them. Piece of cake...

I saw that NBS uses size 3157 bulbs for front/rear turns....does this mean 3157 LED's will plus right in?

sorry to kinda jack this...

[Dale Gribble]

I think they would look ok.... if I ever saw some that fit like factory. All the ones I've seen look crooked or smaller than they should for some reason.

[HotRodLarry]

My '88 came with clear corners and Euro tails. I switched the tail lights for stock pieces and I think I'm gonna get rid of the clear corners. The truck looks funny with them, IMO. I may install LED bulbs, but that's not a definite.

I had a big issue with this. Because the OBS tails use a circuit board, they require a special 3157 for the middle bulb of the tails. VLEDs sell them, the are called SRCK or something similar. The top bulb is a standard 3157 bulb.

[98[GMC]z71]

bought my clear/black turns and corners for like 40 bucks off ebay...then i bought some silvania silverstar turnsignal bulbs that are blue when they aren't turned on but turn orange when you flip on the turn signal.

want any pics of my setup?

these look pretty good while the chrome is still on them, i got phillips turn signal chrome bulbs and they chrome chipped off within 6 months, i figured phillips would be a good brand guess not tho, but if u can get a good brand they look great behind some clears.

any idea on NBS?

[neevnav]

NBS is just straight 3157 bulbs because they eliminated the *wonderful* circuit board design.

[bostic8]

Just go to your local auto parts store they have the silverstars that look great in clear corners they look like a blueish tint and they flask amber they are about 10 bucks.

[Dropkick13]

cool, great input guys

now, I know someone on here would clear lights...remember who and how much they charged? I don't trust myself because I am way too fidgity and impatient...and dumb

[F4MOU$]

My work sells them, but they are a clear hazy type ones, and if you throw an amber LED bulb in there, itll look completely clear, there like 59 bucks... from Anzo USA

APC had the completely clear ones, but there out of business cuz of poor quality products and couldnt keep up with all their warrenties.

[gwhunter350]

do they make clear corners for a 2004 silvy? i hate that orange reflector and i saw an ss the other day and it looked like he had clear corners

[gotnitro]

I have some clear turns from Elegante, they are pretty good IMO i have never had to fog up or fill with water. I got them off of stylintrucks.com. Also i have the chrome bulbs in them. they looks really good during the day, and the chrome has yet to come off and i have had them since the first of August.

I do not have a picture of them at night, but here is a __>LINK<__ (http://s27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/hpiracing/?action=view&current=PA050165.jpg) to them at night time. They are not very bright, but i think they still look ok.

Does anybody by chance know off the top of there heads where you can find clear corners for a 92' truck top and bottom?

[sLOWrado01]

those look good nitro, i remember my favorite thing about those how they appeared to light up orange instead of amber - cool effect. whered u get them?

Theres the link. They cost a little bit, but i think they are well worth it when it comes to haveing clear lights in the daytime, you cant really see them at all unless you get down and give them a good look

[tanqueray]

I got the reflective clears at carpartswholesale.com for like $16 shipped and got a regular orange bulb. You can't really see the bulb in the day. looks good works great, it helps if your turn signals and headlights arent yellowed

[ABK1500]

are these just glued onto the grill?
