There is no "Clear Corners" for the TL because it is a one piece headlight design with the orange reflector intergrated into the headlight piece. the only way to get clears is to remove the headlight housing and taking out the reflector and putting it back. And there is not enough demand to make new headlights with a clear reflector. I wish they did tho. :o

No, it wont blink white just if you take off the reflector, cuz the bulb is orange too. you have to get hyperwhite bulbs (piaa, polarg, etc) if you want it to blink white.

BTW, if you want the clear look without paying someone to really clear your headlights, or do it yourself and (maybe) mess everthing up, you can make "fake" clear headlight by putting chrome paper over the reflector.

You can do a search on this, there are threads on it.

I have it and it looks good. i think.
Sorry, no pics.

'hope it helps,

Well you have an orange bulb that uses power to iluminate and then you have a reflector that uses external light(another car headlights) to reflect and iluminate.

The cars have this reflectors so if you get into an accident at night and have no battery power (no emergency lights orange bulb) other cars will be able to see you when the reflectors iluminate from the reflection of the other car's headlights.

It is illegal to removed/cover/paint the reflectors since they will not longer do their function, but cops hardly notice that specially because is inside the headlight and not too many people do it.

Sometimes you could buy the lights from some one that already did it or a trade. Most likely you will end up doing it yourslef, which is what most people have done including me.
