    Who here has clear corners?

    What type of bulbs are you guys running? I've been debating on what route to go with now that I have a full set of clears from Khoalty sitting in my bedroom.

    The easiest route would be to keep the ambers in, because I know it will not cause problems, but I would still have the problem of yellow reflection from the bulbs.

    I could also get the silver coated bulbs that Khoalty sells, which seems like the best route, but after some research, I've found that these bulbs have caused, in some cases, the DEPO corners to melt since they are hotter.

    The other option would be to get led bulbs and resistors (also from Khoalty) for the corners. I like this idea, but I think it might look stupid with LED's up front and halogen bulbs everywhere else. I would probably get a set of LED's for the sidemarkers too since they don't require resistors.

    What setups work for you guys?/

    I've been running stealth bulbs for two years. No problems/issues.

    My lighting is all OEM clears though.

    I got my stealth bulbs at www.xenonmods.com

    Were the lights OEM like mimalmo or DEPO? Not sure if it makes a difference, maybe everyone with the melting problems were using the wronf type of bulbs. I'll look into the stealth's, thanks guys

    I got my corners, sides, and stealth bulbs from khoa. I've only had them in for a few weeks, no problems so far.

    Exactly what I wanted to hear. I guess I'll go with Khoa again for the bulbs, since i've bought just about everything from him.

    How was the fitment of the lights? Did it take any modifying to get them fit right?

    I also had stealth bulbs with depos for almost two years- no problems.

    For my 325, fitment was perfect and required no modification.

    I'm in a similar situation. I recently received my corners,sides and tails from Khoalty. All fit/look perfect. Funny thing is, my bulbs aren't amber. All clear. I have every receipt for any and all work on the car since day one, and I know the PO didn't change anything himself (he was a fill the tank and drive kinda guy.) Strange?

    Thats weird. I know there are OEM stealth bulbs out there, but I thought they only came on on the European cars?

    That may actually explain it. My car was ordered in Germany by the PO.
