I believe the inside parts are smoked also. I like both amber and clear. But i would choose the clear over the amber corner reflectors. right now they are out of my reach so i decided to do this instead of spending 190-200 on smoke clear corners from American Muscle.

I did what 562cobra did and it made them look new again. They use to look just like 562cobra's did before.
