Don't know about clearcorners, but courtesyparts has them for $50, which seems to be the going price on other sites.

I have the courtesy parts ones. They are authentic Nissan parts, in Japan there is no law that the fornt reflectors have to be amber.

I should be getting mine soon and the guy at the local performance shop in town told me you have to reach around the bumper through the wheel well to unscrew to screws that holds the reflector in place.

its illegal in any state but noone is going to give you a ticket for them, besides the headlight housing have amber in them so its all good ;-)

The passenger side one is a pain to remove because tof the windshield washer fluid tank being in the way.

There's many ways to install the clear markers. I found it easier to take off the bumper then do the install. Other people can slide their hand in from the wheel well and take care of business. It's about a good 15 minutes to change it out.

tons of people have them. its a 30minute job if your familiar with the area and its disassembly. but not hard by any means.

clear corners are different reflectors and are lit with LEDs. the nissan reflectors are identical except for the color themselves.

there is also a smoke amber color which is stock in australia and japan. I put that on my superblack; its nice. since its "stock" its also cheaper at like 20$. and if your into it; you can call it JDM *shrug*.

you can also get white/clear and put some bats overlays on them; which is what Ive been wanting to do. then youd get true smoked; but not painted over.

if you want them lit up with LEDs for a good price, PM me. I have all sorts of options available.
