Where did you get yours from? APC seems to put out a lot of low quality crap and ricey products. I got my "Diamond Clear Corners" from Procarparts.com

Well, yeah, they do not meet the Transport Canada standards either, which also require an amber "reflector" at the front corner. A lot of cars have an amber insert reflector in their otherwise clear corners.

If I was ever hassled about the legality of these corners I would add some amber side markers - something like this (Photoshop job...):



Another option that would work would be to open up the clear corners and put either a coat of clear amber paint on the chrome reflector portion or a layer of orange reflective tape cut to fit the shape. I do not relish the idea of opening up the lights though.

The ProCarParts units are made by DEPO and are OEM replacement units for the Ford Tierra (apparently a rebadged Protege sold by Ford in some Asian countries).

I'm glad they don't have an amber reflector. Make's it look so much cleaner on the front ...at least it has a projector.

I wouldn't mind adding some hyperwhite's to the corners but I wouldn't want to get pulled over ...then they would probably start looking at my tint too ..

$60?! ProCarParts.com sells them for $49.99. Not too shabby...

I really love the Diamond clear corners.. I've had them since February.. no fogging, perfect fit to the fenders.. very very nice stuff.

Aftermarket turn signal bulbs don't seem to work well with Proteges.. I had a set of PIAA 1157 hyperwhites in the past as well as some generic blue bulbs.. and both of them set off the fast-blinking mode every so often, randomly.. even when i tried putting the bulbs in time after time, cleaning the socket, etc.. I decided my sockets are just posessed and bought some amber 1157 (Long Life) at autozone.. and all is good

Negatize, your car keeps looking better and better.
