Default Clear lenses???

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get clear corner lenses for my 02' Z? I don't want any orange/amber in them. Thanks

My understanding is that the amber reflector that is in US signal lenses is a DOT requirement. You must have a amber reflector on each side of the front and a red Reflector on each side of the rear of the car. This is why atleast here in Georgia in the late 90's all the Honda boys with their clear tail lamps and corner lamps were getting tickets. Feel free to research this and correct me if I am wrong.

fleabay sells them for about $100 a pair. I bought a set from the same seller with the amber reflectors for $55 a pair, and I can tell you they are better than the stock lenses in looks. The front DRLs have a different pattern in the plastic that looks much clearer and faster

Fit/finish is the same as the originals but hopefully these won't crack and cloud up as quickly.

I got my clear corner lights from FLEBAY for ~ $40. GM original parts too. Got Yellow LED's from AutoZone for the side markers. They are clear when off, but yellow when on. I got the switch back LED's for the DRL's. They are yellow in the day and bright white when my headlights turn on. They match my HID fogs, and HID low beams at night. It looks cool I think. I wish I had pics though.... I need to do that.
