Clear Corners and Switchbacks installed....
Nothing new or earth shattering, but I've been wanting to do this mod for awhile now and so I decided to contact Neil @ Corvette Mods and order a set of all clear corners and switchback and parking light LEDs to go along with them. I know there are a lot of good vendors on here and I've done business with a few of them and have really never been dissatisfied with any of my experiences. And to date Neil and his company have been great from ordering to delivery in every instance.....thanks, Neil.
So, it took awhile to figure out the best way to get the old lenses out, but after taking my time, here are the results:
As delivered:

and a short vid showing them in action:
Also ended up going to the Good Guys Autumn GTG in Pleasanton this past weekend and took a few shots. Keep in mind, i have NO eye for good photography

Thanks for taking a look......

I have a black vert as well and did the black corners. Love them and getting ready to send to RadioFlyer to add the amber LED strip. Sweet looking vette you have.

I already installed aftermarket corners when I installed my LEDs. However after seeing these clear corners, I'm thinking of trying them.
Since the side reflectors are clear, do most of you install an amber (LED) bulb behind them?
