C5 Turn Signal and Corner Lights
I purchased a 2002 Convertible with lots of miles. The Turn Signal and Corner Lights have some serious 'wear' and I would like to replace them.
What brand do you recommend and how hard are they to replace? I would like to get replacements that are brighter(amber bulbs) than the stock ones. Thanks in advance for your help.

Check out our clear corners. They are pretty easy to install.

We have several LED enhancements for the bulbs, but really won't be brighter than stock. They will be as bright as stock, but mainly just look better.
If you have questions contact me direct.

I just got my clear corners with switchbacks from JW and I love them. Easy to replace... just remove the headlights (3 screws and 5 bolts) and you can look right down on top of the lenses. Took me about 2 hours taking my time.

Yup, right out the bottom, three bolts on the undercoating and you can look right up at it (after sliding the brake duct out of the way), only held in by a spring, carrier drops out, three bolts to get lense off, LED's are plug and play...rinse ...repeat.Best part is . . .no more blown bulbs due to hot halogens melting the connectors and the top of the carriers
If you go for LED's you may want to look at the flasher bypass also. The LED's draw so much less current that the oem flasher thinks the bulb is blown. This cycles the flash time to a faster rate (called hyperflash). Wont actualy hurt anything but technicaly the rears are still gonna be incandescent bulbs and cycling that fast will burn those out faster.
The Flasher bypass just plugs in under the dash (three screws and ten minutes) no cutting/splicing. With it installed the lights work the same as the oem lights.
