Short story:
My chrome, clear corner headlights from americanmuscle.com leaked, and I do not recommend purchasing from them.
Long story:
I needed to replace my yellowing headlights on my 2000 GT, and I liked the looks of the clear corners. I bought a pair from americanmuscle.com for $200. The headlights were packaged well, but came with zero documentation. I installed them, and they looked really nice (although the rubber flange did not align perfectly with the fender). The assemblies leaked after the first rain. I dried them out and applied silcone to the seam on the top and sides. They leaked again. I emailed americanmuscle.com to get replacements, and they told me to follow this procedure:

Essentially, you need to bake your headlights and apply silicone. Maybe they should have included this documentation in the packaging. I was skeptical about the procedure, but did it anyway. Although I was extremely careful, I still managed to singe a corner of one of the assemblies. Thus, they are ruined.
The bottom line is that you should not have to cook your $200 headlights and re-seal them. I am looking for some new lights now (from a different company). Avoid this product from this company.
