While we're on the subject, do these look different than the ones you get on e-bay, i.e. are they 'clearer'?

Those are some nifty clear corners! Where do you get those? I might have to get them instead of the normal ones!
I like how the match the headlights in their clarity.

There is absolutely nothing 'Altezza' about these clear corners, they are meant to look somewhat like the new Porsche 997 (911) front corners:

I saw the item at fob-schrank but Koji carries more than u see at his web-site or he can get you anything you see at another site in Japan. I don't think they have rear corner lights on NB's in Japan, it's a US safety thing...

way it looks - their is a opening on outside of lens to insert bulb-maybe i am looking at it wrong.

Does look like the little clear screw covers are on these. They were not on my clear corners i ordered off of ebay.
