Clear side markers.

So I am looking to get some clear side markers for my car. There are so many out there, what does everyone recommend? I couldn't find a link that was topic specific.

Had issues with condensation. I read about the issue here on the forums but decided to take the risk. My driver's side ended up with a good amount of condensation a few days after install.

I must have ducked the bad run or got a rare set, then, because after weeks of rain here driving 140 miles a day in Seattle, they're dry and bright!

If I would have known this is the norm, though, I would have gone OEM.

My helix clear side markers have been going strong near a year now.

No leaks or condensation for me. Great buy @$55 total cost.

I've got Helix as well, had them for probably around a year now, still dry. If I knew OEMs were available, I would have gone down that path, but I've no regrets.
