Here are my first pics of the clear & smoked side & front lenses from Klearz.
I am very impressed at the quality; they look and feel and fit like the stock lenses.
The only issues I noticed were on the side lenses.
You can notice the (clear) adhesive if you want to be picky about it.
But once they're on, it's not an issue. Also,
while screwing them on, you'll notice (i did) that the back tip (the end with the screw hole) is not 100% flush with the body. HOWEVER, it too is nothing too noticeable, and i'm thinking that over time they will flex a little and flatten out. I'm telling you, it's really minor. Just screw them on slowly and firmly and make sure they're on good but do not overtighten!

NICE, I can't wait. Did you put an amber bulb in your sides?

EDIT: By the way, the Chambers look sweet. Did you debadge the center caps too?

Yep, the Chambers are de-badged.

No amber bulbs, yet.
I'll try to find some tomorrow.
As for the legality of it all...
I got pulled over 2 days ago for my tinted windows!
I have to take it off, which I am NOT happy about.
While I am getting the fix it ticket resolved I'll see what they say about the lenses/lights. If anything.

ive gotta say im pretty disappointed in the color of the smoked lenses I was hoping for much darker but look like a quality product!

Sport,
I hear what you're saying. That's what I was afraid of...them looking a bit too purplish. But they look a bit better in person.
And consider this-
the darker the VX, the better it'll look.
There's a whole lotta white underneath on mine.
They will look best on an ebony.

Same here I was hoping for a lot darker smoke......I will keep my spray painted ones.

is that the white housing on the ones installed in the photos? Do you think that ordering them with a black housing would help things any?

I have clear lenses with the black housing on the way. I will send pics when they arrive.

going on an ebony.

no, it's black.
But it's hard to tell now if they're actually a tinted lens (which is what I ordered) or if it's a clear on a black housing.

I somewhat forgot about this, but they had said they would do clear, tinted and dark lenses.
I emailed to ask if that was still possible, or if these smoked lenses are the darkest they made.

[cyronman]

Alright-
they didn't make anything darker than the tinted ("smoked") color.
However,
the tinted SIDE lenses in my pics above are actually clear lenses on a black housing...
so tinted lenses will actually be darker!

(Apparently i asked for clear on black when i should have requested tinted.)

Anyone else receive theirs yet??

Nope, I dont really expect mine till sometime in Jan. Last day of work till the new year and they are being shipped here, so even if they do arrive before then, I lose.

I got mine and you know, I'm just not feeling the side markers. I love my blacked out ones and I am gonna stick to 'em.

The front turn signal covers are superb and fit awesomely. They compress the rubber gasket like the orginals and that is really good, since Ron's were just flat.

Oh ya, forgot.... I got mine a couple days after Xmas (well, work did but I wasnt here to collect). But of course, the VX is in the body shop so the lenses are sitting home on the coffee table still.

Quality-wise, these things are about as close to OEM as you are gonna get. Very good quality!

Visually, hard to say since I cant install yet, but they look quite good. I got the silver housing which gives it a much more crystal white look, and its very appealing. I have very high hopes and recommend them.

Not neccessarily looking for pics, but has anyone else received or have any comments to post on the Klearz lenses.......
