I am interested in a set of clear corners for my truck. What kind do you guys think look the best? I see a ton of them on Ebay but all of them look different. Crystal clear, euro crystal clear, ????? Help! Also, are they easy to take out like the headlights or is it harder then just removing the pins??

They are pretty simple to install. Remove your headlights, then get to the turnsignals, clip those out, replace bulbs, reinstall everything, done.

I have procarparts.com clears on my truck, i've had them about 5 or 6 months, they are already starting to yellow on me
I'm not aware of any "good" brands of clears for the NBS. Do you have a chevy or a gmc? If anybody knows of any quality clear signals that won't yellow in a few months, i'd love to pick up a set!

I've got a Chevy. I've seen some from like Stylin' Concepts for like $60 and some on Ebay for like $20. I guess maybe its like everything else, you get what you pay for.

i got the ones from ebay and the only complaint i have so far is the chrome inside one light well has turned black. otherwise they look good and were cheap. i think i just got the clear ones.

The install is super simple. They just clip in. I bought mine from Stylin' Concepts about 3 years ago. I think they are APC's and they haven't yellowed, cracked, leaked, or anything since I bought them.

I bought a set of the "cheaper" E-bay ones like you are looking at in July. Every time I washed my truck, (usually twice a week) the drivers side one leaked and would fog up. I pulled it out and ran a bead of clear silicone around the seam where the socket portion meets the clear lens portion, but it still leaked and fogged up. Within 3 months the inside had tarnished and lost all of its reflectivness, and just plain looked like HELL. I bought a new set of APC's for twice what the cheaper one's cost and haven't had any problems since. I know alot of people don't like the APC's, but a friend of mine has had a set in his truck for almost a year and his still look like new.

Had the APC's in my truck for a year and a half now, and they began to yellow after 4 months or so. When its dark outside, you can reallly tell the difference from how much clearer the top lights are. Oh well, it was only 50 bucks, and 2 miles from my house to get it.
