How can you say that APCs is clearer? Have you seen them both side by side? Have you looked at the picture in the first post There is no comparison.
procarparts.com is a cheaper version of the JDM cornerlights from corksport.com
When my car was beside "Pro00" at our last meet, you can easily see the difference. His was clear, shiny, and glossy, while mines where rippled, fog like, and white.
I would like to see your APC lights because they must be different from mines.

the ones with the streaks in it, and the 'bulge' coming out of the sides, those are actually OEM JDM-style corners. I got my REAL JDM corners from Corksport all the way back in 2000, still works like new, no leaks whatsoever.
The 'clear' ones from ProCarParts is in fact, OEM parts from Ford Tierras (rebadged Proteges) that are sold in southeast Asia. So they should also be of OEM quality and do not leak moisture. pro00 has these and they do look pretty well made. Definitely OEM quality.
I can't say how APCs are, but seeing how Shem's already leaking moisture, I guess they aren't as good as the OEM-spec clear corners...
IMO if you want quality clear corners at a great price, get the procarparts ones!!!!

Well try the corksport lights. UPSMan has them on his Sport20 and they look beautiful. Clear and glossy.

here are what the real JDM ones look like:
some may consider this style 'old school' and not as cool as the crystal clear ones from Procarparts, but I like mine like it is

hey dumbass, the ones Jeremy has are specifically designed for his Sport20 conversion (headlights and front fenders are different), those will NOT fit the stock 99-00 Protege corners.

Sorry for not replying sooner. I have the amber bulbs currently and am planning to put silver coated amber bulbs because I'm finnicky and want at least the lights to look good. 
But um....yeah thats about it.

Ill tell you one thing. Boy am I glad I read ALL of the posts before I posted. I WAS gonna go on a tangeant about how the BULDGE was because thats how the JDM ones are, but someone cleared that up already! Thanks!
I actually wonder how many people knew that thats how the OEM corners came? (Im guessing on 1-2)

The JDM look provides a much smoother front end to the car. IMHO.. B/C the Clear ones produce to much of a bling to the front of the car.
