there was a post about these about 2 weeks ago. i picked up the same set and took some pics. they are pretty dark, but with the flash on the camera it doesn't accurately reflect that. here are some pics:

overall i like em and they are different than the clear jdm ones everyone seems to have.

Hey Drew, got them a day ago! I too was like what the hell, lets give it a shot. The quality is what you would expect from an "eBay clear corner", nothing to par of the OEM clears. The OEM clears have a diamond pattern on the lens, whereas the eBay clears are simply clear with straight lines in them. The interior backing of the OEM's are silver, which reflect the amber light very well. The eBay clears are black inside, which is what really makes them black (they do not have tinted plastic, which is what I thought it was). The clips that hold them in place will need to be adjusted a bit as they do not hold them in very well. I'll post some pics later this evening....

Great idea... having black housing lights. But I dont know if I like them. The bulb stands out too much. Its all smooth and black, with a dot in the middle :/ I think overlays with bright LEDs behind them might be better. 0.2cents

Oh yea they fit right in, looks great, but the over-all quality of the clears are VERY POOR compared to that of the OEM ones! They feel cheap, with cheap metal retaining clips, and they're not DOT appproved, so if a cop wanted to bust your *****, he could...

So on a quality scale, I give them a D, on the eye candy factor, they get a B+... For the $$$ (total out of pocket to my door was under $40) they're a decent subtle mod...

I'm thinking overlays might actually be better than these Ebay "smoked" clears. What do you guys think? Subpar quality, no light reflection, etc...
