I just got some new clear corners from ebay. I went with the seller "Revotech" and got the corners in 3 days! I would recommend this seller over some of the other ones I have heard about.
I must tell you though, the clips that the clear corners come with will not work with the factory screws. You need to take the clips off the old corners if you want to use the stock screws.
I also went out and got a set of Silvania Silverstars to put in the corners.
I did the installation last night. What should have been an easy, 10min installation turned into an hour with me. This always happens with me.
Here is a pic before I started, of the stock corners.
The passanger side went in just fine, no problems. Took approx 2 minutes to get that side done. The drivers side, on the other hand, was a nightmare. First of all, getting it out was a PITA. I cut my fingers twice trying to slide the thing out. When it was finally out, I got the new bulbs in there, and tried to put it back in. The thing would just not go back in. After pushing quite hard, it snapped in, but I noticed the bulb was crooked. So I tried to get the corner out, oh no, that wasn't happening. After tapping it with a rubber mallet it finally came out and I saw that the piece that holds in the bulb had broken. I did notice that these pieces are merely glued onto the back of the bulb. So with some PVC cement, I glued that thing back on. After putting it back in, I realized then when I had put the bulb in, I spun it the wrong way (to lock it). So when I spun it the other way, it went in just fine. Lesson learned. So, there is my long ass story on me being an idiot. Here are some more pics.
