All clear corners are going to be hard for you to find since they are not DOT compliant and nobody seems to be selling them any longer.

[/IMG]What are you talking about, if that was the case then you would have new cars from the factory that would not be DOT compliant. You just use an amber bulb instead of a clear bulb.
First pic shows clear corners, next pic drl's are on with clear corners , sivler star 3057 and side is a little amber as well, and last My 09 ram factory, clear corners, with amber bulbs.

Wasn't too long ago there was a post with a pic of a silver car I believe that had the clear LED taillights. A search might get you a hit. But, IMO, they just don't look right on the car. Remember it's just my opinion.

In my opinion the clear corner lights look great, But as far as the tails go..Well, They just don't do it for me.

Thank you all for responding... I guess having a Silver car it is hard to do the "Clear" thing... I am a little dissapointed I saw a Silver C5 with the clear Tail lights and I agree it did not look good IMO. I hope the person who has it really enjoys it.. It just did not look as good as I thought it would..
I just dont want the Black Out look either....

For a silver car, I personally perfer the blackout look, however I've also noticed that subtle use of chrome/stainless looks REALLY nice.
Regarding the corners lights, You might consider the version with black trim and amber reflector. it's a nice combination of clear and black and they look really cool with my LED strip modification:
Can also be done in white:
Black trim with ribbed lens:
White strip with amber marker/signal lights:

Looks good.
We're currently waiting on our new batch of corners to arrive.
The base kit comes with them wired into the side marker portion.
We have new options with this led strip which allows them to run off your DRLS/Turn Signals.

I took it too far away to see our clear corners and switchbacks...
I'm still trying to get a good shot of my JWM clears with amber LED strips.
