Are you guys crazy?! or just secretly riceboys ...I'm ashamed that you even know the term (I thought it meant making the rear pillars clear cuz it's a big blind spot!!).

but what are "clear corners"?

Sorry again.

Europe and Japan do not require amber reflectors, as does the US. So the front corner lamp can be clear with an amber bulb, instead if amber with a clear bulb.

Since the trend started with Beemers and VW's and migrated to the ricers, knowing about this isn't as bad as not knowing about it.

The car's okay, but those lights look so cheap...and yet there's people who want to emulate that.

The tail lights is one of the major things that makes the new Altima so dated looking already.

Try looking for an export part number at the dealer.

I think it'd look cool.

yeah seriously! I love the red tailights but i might do the super trendy tinting of some of them, although im not sold on it yet!

I think some of you might be confusing clear corners with the clear tail-lights.

I hope this is what Executive had in mind (see attachement).

The CTS pics at the European and Japanese Cadillac sites still have the amber reflectors so you'll have to look at the aftermarket.

Good Luck
