As for the color, depends on the color of your bulbs. I used clear bulbs and it has an off whitish tint. If you use amber, they will be amber. If you use the hyper white (blue) bulbs, they will be white.

My corners are from procarparts and they have held up well, no condensation nor have they turned yellow. I have had them for 3yrs. I know they sell them on ebay occassionally for around $15 plus something like $10 shipping. If you buy from their website, they are close to $50 plus shipping.

Don't want to hijack the thread but I figured this fits well enough. What brand of clear corners are these that LMC Truck sells?

Specifically, the second one down.

I also don't want to hijack, but does anyone know if clear corners are legal in New Jersey? And if so, is it something that the police really bust your chops about? I think that some clear corners would clean up the front of my truck nicely (and it's a mod that I can kinda afford right now )

Bud, I found this. I guess you can draw your own conclusion. I wasn't sure about Texas either but I found code stating it could be anywhere between white and amber. I was almost positive it had to flash amber.

Now don't tell me these clear corners are APC and are going to turn yellow!
