Thanks for all the comments. As you know, the price of clear corners is already $60+
so if I were to sell these they would have to be rather pricey for me to make any money.

I know I will be selling at least one set because I want to make another pair with white leds.

The only issue I see is that these look a bit on the labor intensive side; order clear corners (which can be tough to find at times), order circuit board, order led's, solder the connections, open clear corner, insert board, seal clear corner, etc etc.
yikes, that was tiring just writing it out...

All the people that have clear corners should have the stock yellow corners lying around( like me). Just swap them and send the clear Corners to RR for the upgrade. Then you wouldn't have to buy a pair, all you have is a personal little labor and some shipping.
If I shipped them, I'd pay up to $100.00 for the upgrade.
If that's a reasonable amount RR?
What about just a single row of 12?

I can do any color, however, some colors would cost more. White happens to be the most expensive color led.

That's an option I would consider. For those who are interested. PM me.

I can do any amount of leds as longs it is divisible by 6.

so yes, I could do a single row of 12.
