Amber reflectors in black lights = bleh
There should be some listed with clears, but be warned you will need to upgrade to HIDs as the light output is severaly weakened since there's no reflective material inside the light anymore.

There is reflective material (look closer). They just darken the areas around the reflector that have little to no affect on light output.
I'd still go with HIDs though, cause our lights suck.

I've been eyeing those head lights for a while. I bought a set of clear corners off ebay and they leaked like crazy, so I'm hesitent to try headlights. HIDs are cool, but too expensive for my tastes.
If you look closely at my sig pic, you can see about an inch of standing water in my drivers side clear corner. Nothing I tried to seal them worked.

Black headlight/corners arent woth it in my opinion. I can comment on them because I had them for a couple of weeks.
Light output will be at a minimum, including turn signals. Turn signals will go from the entire turnsignal housing lighting up to something the size of only the turns signal bulb lighting up.
It took me a couple of weeks to determine they were not worth the money so I sold them.

I think Nightshades is a red based tint.
Not sure if it would reflect more of a red hue or not.
