>The turn signals are very high quality (like factory) > and have a clear lens with a orange tint to the reflector. In the german VW-Bus-Forum many people use the clear turn signals. They reported that after some time water comes into these lenses. Now they first seal the area where the lens is glued to the frame, with silicone or else, before mounting the turn signal. Also U.S. spec turn signals are different from the german ones. I heard that the U.S. ones have another lens pattern so the 5watt side markers are reflected more to the sides of the van, not only to the front. German cars do not have side markers, so the lens mostly reflects in front direction...
