Default Really happy with Clear Corners...

Finally got around to taking a pic with the new DEPO Clear DLRs... I'm quite happy with them & kinda feel it "updates" the look a little.

Anyhow, appreciate the help provided by all the threads covering the install... Made things pretty easy on my car, even easier when I helped a friend install them on his EB coupe ("Black Cherry" version)

Now for the HIDs!!!

A hui hou

Yep, that's where I got'm... Possibly the same vendor. I also believe a couple CF support vendors carry them as well.

Mahalo guys

question, have you soaked them yet to see if they condensate on the inside yet?

I like the looks of these but wonder if they will fishbowl like my OEM ones do now.

Yeah, they show some condensation but not nearly as much as my old OEM’s. I notice it more when I interim wash during the week, using a DIY power washer (wand type), more so if the DLR’s have been on for any length of time. When I hand wash on a cold car, no problems at all… No pooling or standing water in either case!!!

Those look very good on your car bud. I really like the black in between the clear and amber. I also just bought a set of clear corners for mine but they're the full clears. I like how they look when the light are off with no amber at all. Hopefully it will warm up a little so I can get them in the car.

I picked up similar ones on ebay, but the side markers are clear also. They are stamped GM and they are for EU sales.
I glued a small 1" mirror in the top or each one where the bulb comes near the plastic, used an O-ring, and put a small bag of dessicant in each. Lots of rain, cold and hot so far and not the slightest bit of condensation. They really look good compared to the OEM.

Mahalo gents, appreciate the comps

Those Clear/Clear look sharp as well (love the Arctic White FRC ), hope the weather breaks for some of you so you can not only work on but drive your Vettes as well

A hui hou!

Hope’n those HIDs are in by the time I get back from overseas… Fingers crossed!

Oooh… Embarrassed to say I’m not sure :bb

I ‘m think’n my set is the “Euro-Clear”; believe “Chrome-Clear” may mean the housing is chrome plated vs. black… Kind of like the chrome or black housing HID option.

Just a guess, HTH
