You don't buy clear corners, you unlock them! Here's the secret code:

Turn your key to the on positon.
Hit your brakes three times.
Start your car, move exactly three meters.
Turn off your car and pull the hand brake 20 times.
Shift in this patern without pressing on the clutch: 1, 3, 2, 4, 5, R, 6
Start your car again and shut it off.
You have to do all this within 15 seconds.

If you did it right, your corners will turn clear.

I got mine from RX-8 Strakes.

They have both the newer clear corners and the "older" ones which I have and like a little bit better.

What are clear corners. I did the procedure and I heard something and the car shook a bit. But I can't tell a difference in appearance. Are my corners supposed to be invisible or something?

If you're looking for humor, the funniest part about clear corners is that they're illegal in the US.

nope, incorrect. Turn signal light has to be amber along with running light.

Many new cars come with clear corners.

you know the amber (orange) markers on the front sides of your car? they go from that to clear like in my sig, orange looks bad with a lot of colors so the clear looks better.

There needs to be an amber corner light, plus an amber REFLECTOR. Clear corners don't reflect amber. You can put amber bulbs in them all day long and it won't make them "legal". Many new cars have clear lenses for turn signals and corner lights, this is true, but if you look, they all come with an amber reflector somewhere. Sometimes it's integrated into the headlight housing (most common), sometime it's not a light, but just a reflector on the bumper (some BMWs) and sometimes it's a stand alone light+reflector (like the RX-8, Porsches, etc). This is a Federal regulation for vehicles to be sold in the US.
