I did a search and came across a website which looks good. Do a search for a user on the board "RamAir95TA". Here's his website:
http://www.geocities.com/twocents29/clearcorners.html

Looks good to me, and he saved some $$$. Maybe you could PM him if you have any other questions.

I was going to make my own clear corners...

...then I discovered that Procarparts.com sells them for 93-97 Firebirds.

So I bought those instead, and I love them!!

My wife got my those exact ones from ProCarParts when they were $10 more expensive. I just put them on the other day and they look great!

The orange bulbs they sent in my package were the wrong ones though.

Holy deja vue batman! LOL, that is my website from a LOOOOOOOONG time ago. I didn't know it even existed anymore. I made the clear corners long before procarparts.com made them, so it was worth the process back then. If it were today that i was looking for the clear corners, i would just buy them like everyone else is saying. I have more pictures on my current website, just click on the links in my sig.

yah maybe... but when ricer control gets a little out of hand it tends to make cops into idiots over different colored turn signals... my friend has a 95 civic... he has been fined twice and he now uses hyper white instead of blue or purple... but i personally dont like hyper white...what other color could you put in and cops not flip out ?

in MA its illegal to have any lighting product that isn't stok on your car. you can't change the color of your fog lights or even put fog lights on your car that didn't come with them. if you change your lights to blue your done, it really sucks, most of the time they don't bother but when they have a stick up thier butt then you better watch out

I used to think the same way, but then I realized that I liked the brightness of the amber on the 'Vettes, and the other day, my buddy got new clear markers for his T/A ('99) along with some bright amber bulbs, and it looks very nice. You will never get the crispness and brightness from an amber lense and yellow/clear/white bulb as you will with a good amber bulb and clear lens. That's why...
