i personally like the amber corners better, so i swapped them back... i think i need a new picture hosting site though... these clubphoto shots look like shit...

You have to see both sides to really say if you like it or not, now that i see one side on a silver 02 Galant.....its ok. It would probably look better with a the blue hyperwhite bulb in the turnsignal.

Try www.ImageStation.com for photo hosting.

I think clear corners look cheap after a while

the amber looks more luxury sport while the clear just reminds me of all the damn ricer civics

i like clear better. maybe a titanium bulb might be better. that amber bulb just gets to me lol. IMO though it looks better with the chrome housing than the black on your car

I honestly don't know but would probably lean towards the amber reflector ones b/c the '02 have the tinted main headlight area but your corners don't have that match. That picture is so far away, I can't really give a good assessment. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif

too much chrome in the corner housing... if it was blacked out like the main part, it would be good...

that or a full chrome housing...its like the chrome is acting like a trim color but isn't doing a good job contrasting the black...too much of it...

The amber bulb has got to go.. I like the cleared look.. it sets your ride apart from the other 15 Galants rollin stock you see each day..

yeah, they'd prolly miss the 18" Racing Hart's and opnly see the clear corner... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

the clear corner sucks, so the amber reflector is there to stay...

I think that clear corners have more of a luxury look. Look at any high end car in Europe or Asia. The only reason amber is use is because of state laws.

I just noticed today that our state patrol cars have clear front turn signals when I was across from one at a stoplight and he was turning.

it's funny but there was a honda but don't remember what model at my friends house and it had the amber bulb but the corner lens is clear for the most part but it does have a yellow reflector but not covering the bulb and just set sideways between the corner bulb and the main headlights. What a stupid design but first time I saw stock clear corners that expose a raw amber bulb, lol.

If somehow the corner area wasn't as bright as the main headlight area, then that would match up nicely Tiller. Perhaps right at the corner, that area can be blackened out..... this however would require disassembly of the whole headlight housing..... what a biach!

BTW, dig the new wheels. They really look good :thumbsup:

Clearing your corners is easy IMO, i'd say its actually one of the easiest mods that can be done to our cars, short of painting trim pieces, debadging, and changing bulbs.

Just follow the instructions its easy as pie :thumbsup:
