Clear or Black Corners?

**Xanthous** · 08-03-2011

Stock Headlights
Black Grand Prix

Which do you think would look better?
Are the black ones tinted (smoked) or is just the housing painted black?

Also, do the ebay ones need to be sealed and if so, with what?

Thanks.

clear! looks amazazazazing. as for the black housed ones, housing is the black part.

and i replaced the orange bulbs with clear ones. looks a ton better.

**Xanthous** · 08-03-2011

Looks good ^ I'll probably go with clear.

**SomeDudeAtHome** · 08-03-2011

I agree that the clear would look better. Black look good but with black headlights otherwise they look kind of out of place.

The black ones do look better than stock, but if you look at them from the side it really stands out in a bad way. get the clear ones and some non-yellow turn signal bulbs.

EDIT: Changed my sig. theyre still there but i have headlight covers on.

Yah, I agree. Since I don't see much reason to replace the actual headlights, the black and clear would probably look awkward.

I have black ones in my sig.

They look bad from the side? Any idea where I can get the clear turn signal bulbs? ebay?

I like yours sean, but probably won't be replacing the entire headlight. Do you find there is any decrease in light output with the blacks?

I run HIDs so it's better than stockers with halogens. Right now they're off the car getting retrofitted with projectors so they'll have just about the best light output possible. Definitely worth the money imo.
With that said, black corners on chrome headlights looks awful, that's what im running right now in the mean time... it's gross.

Since ur car is black. Your gonna need some contrast. Clear!

**SeanGTP** · 08-04-2011

You're one to talk, you have black headlights.
Black for sure with clear black corners. That along with a nice arrowhead overlay, and if you want some ss grills, are all the contrast you need.

black corners + oem housings. imho best look.

i am putting in led's to get rid of the orange bulb yoke effect.

i nevered liked that combo,, just looks off or unfinshed may look better without the yellow

Put in these: Amazon.com: Sylvania 3157A/4157A ST BP SilverStar 27-Watt High Performance Signal Light: Automotive

It doesn't hide them, but it sure looks cool as hell:

I think they'd look even better in regular clear corners since there is more reflectors in there and they're straight chrome.

**JoRoW99** · 08-04-2011

Those are what i run in mine, look 5x better than stock. I think clearn/led would look better though.

**The Guz** · 08-04-2011

The sylvania silverstar corner bulbs are the best looking bulbs in either style of corners. Just an FYI, the ebay black headlights have a smaller chrome reflector. Thus the need for going with HIDs. I recommend you find a nice set of stockers and paint them black.

clear is mega 1999.

black black black black black

I didn't know my car was black?

Just not a fan of the murdered out look. Just an opinion on the internet.

Your car is dark green, which is a dark color, therefore black headlights are not "contrasting" with it.

And I'd be hard-pressed to say my car is murdered out. Bright orange arrowhead, ss grilles, white wheels, bright orange rear inlays and bright red tails.
Just saying.
