Clear Corners Installed - Look like OEM

I installed my clear corners I bought on ebay the end of last month, and put in some Sylvania SilverStar turn signal bulbs as well (thanks to a tip from SilvieBolt on svtperformance.) These corners look almost identical to the OEM ones. I am well pleased with the results.

Thanks guys...

I don't know...there was no brand name on the box, and the guy selling them hasn't listed any on ebay in a couple of weeks.

thanks...I was using ZAINO on my previous cars, but decided to try something different with my truck.

I am using Meguiars NXT Tech Wax right now. I only have one coat on my truck, and they say it shines even more with 2 coats on it. All I can say is I won't be going back to ZAINO after using this stuff.

REALLY NICE looking "L".
Great choice of wheels
And your new corners look sharp also!!!

Are those corner bulbs amber when they're lit? If so do you have a part number or any info on them? I have clear corner lenses but my bulbs are the amber stock ones, doesn't look that good to me.

They are the Sylvania SilverStar 3357/3457 bulbs, about $20 for a set of 2. I got mine at Advance Auto parts. I have seen them for sale on ebay as well. And yes, they do turn amber when you turn on the lights or turn signals. They have kind of a blueish-silver coating on them, and you can barely see the amber underneath when they are off.

Here's what my clear lenses looked like with the stock bulbs:



You can see the SilverStars made them look 10x better.
