Depends on the look you're going for, I would suggest if you're gonna get the smoked corners, that you have to blackhouse your headlights or the smoked corners won't match. If you don't plan to blackhouse, I would get clear. Here's what my CL looks like with both.









Smoked, with smoked upper corners to match






Side by side with clears





Sorry, got on a roll

lol and once again, Chris has a reference picture for every CL scenario.

Honestly I think the standard clear corners look nice. I'm rockin' the gunmetal wheels on a black CL and that's what I'm going to get.

that would be creative, dunno how mounting an h3 bulb in the corner would be, shouldn't be that hard, but I got a set of PIAA xtreme bulbs if u are looking for something to try, lemme know

Brighter bulb would make more sense and not blow any fuses

What burn temp are they, I might need good 6000k H3 bulbs for the fogs to match my HID installed as also the planned LED's on the clear corners....

All the bulbs with matching light color, and the look like you had when you had clear corner w/OEM fogs ....

let me know...

I have silverstars ~5000K and PIAA xtreme fogs dunno the color. Lemme know if u need some good fog bulbs. I miss the old look, but once I hook up my new fogs the new look will be good to go.

Since we're on corners, here's some more b4 I go LED corners

Old look (stock fogs, sylvania super blue heads, PIAA super white corners)


PIAA xtreme corners, PIAA xtreme white fogs (both being replaced)





PIAA xtreme corners and silverstar fogs


Newest fogs on the right, silverstar fogs on the left (still pretty white), colors compared to 6000K hid projectors, and PIAA xtreme corners.





New PIAA LED HID corners waiting to be installed, I'm so sick of buying light bulbs, I'm close to $400 into light bulbs

Just wishin u luck askin about specific temps, they're a pain. I got plenty of options if u need
