I doubt its a big deal but there does seem to be moisture in that one.

Let us Halogen users know what you think of them. Are they Night Breakers? I'm considering doing the same with highs, lows and fogs. And you were right to be careful. Some of the old wiring in there deteriorates.

I had the exact same problem with one of my amber corner trim pieces, but upgraded to new clear ones. They were pricey (surprise!) but look much better.

Yes, they are the Night Breakers. I am hoping for some real improvement over what was in there before...which I have no idea what they were.

Ideally I need to replace the bad corner piece but if I went with clear on just the corner pieces it would look odd (I think). I don't want to hassle with modifying the existing headlights to be all clear and new headlights are just so expensive...
