Default Corner Parking Lights?

I was looking at replacing my corner parking light assemblies on my C5. You know the front ones that house the DRL's. I was looking at my vette vendor books (not sure if we are supposed to call by name or not).. They were called "diamond cut" parking lamps. Anyone ever installed these or any others that you care to comment on and where did you get them? I just thought I would run this by you all before purchasing. any info would be great!

I am hoping Santa brings me some clear ones from JWmotoring, his are nice. Also looking at the HID 6000k fogs also. The clear ones from JW look really good you should check his out.

I installed a pair I got from JWMotoring and I'm really happy with them. I also did the switchback lights and added the hyperflash turn signal adapter.

All in all, about 2 hours work. Once you learn to pull the bottom access panel, you can swap out bulbs in minutes.

Here's a lousy picture of it.

The ones from JWMotoring are very nice corner lights. The hyperflash harness will prevent the very rapid flashing of your turn signals that has been known to occur when you change from the regular bulbs to LED ones.

Are all of the lenses plastic with these corner lights? Looks like glass in some of the pics. Just curious.
