I got mine on ebay as well.......$19.99+shipping. total of about $30. Pretty good deal.
Quick question for anyone out there. I have read about some of these being illegal...what is the you opinions on this Legal or not. I just have the clear corners with a clear bulb, nothing ab=mber on the lenses. The stock amber bulb that was in the truck just stuck out like a sore thumb so I changed it for the same part in clear. Is that illegal. Also, is there a bulb that anyone recommends to increase the brightness on the corner lense? It just seems to look faded. Any help is much appreciated.

Here is my understanding. As long as the corners have a reflector on them, than the bulb can be either amber or clear. As for the Euro Clear Corners, I think no matter what color bulb you have its illegal because there are no reflectors on it. Are you going to get pulled over for this? Probably not. I've had mine - Euro Clear with clear bulbs - for over a year and never had any problems at all.
As for not seeing a clear bulb blinking, when I've got my blinker on my corners are almost as bright as my headlights so you can DEFINITELY see them. But you're right about the bulb seeming faded when just the parking lights are on. I've been looking for a better bulb in that sense but haven't found one yet. I wish Sylvania made corner bulbs to match our 9007s.

I have looked into these bulbs and have found some replacements that brighten up the corner lenses. Go to this sight and do a search for your vehicle.

You can find the ultrawhite replacment bulbs for the 3157 corner bulb. Less than $20 seems like a decent price.

Hey njarrett.
Have you tried those corner bulbs from xtremewhite.com? If so, how bright are they really? Is it more of a whiteish color or does it have a slight blue tint to it? Any pictures? Sorry for all the questions, just been wanting to replace my bulbs for some time but haven't found anyone who has bright bulbs that would match the Sylvania 9007s. Thanks
