For the amber corners, save some cash and tint them yourself. I did mine as well as Busak87's. IMHO, i think they look way better than the eBay ones. Plus, you can tint them ask dark or light as you want, you don't have to wait for shipping from some California based dealer, AND they have the reflector in them (if you are using your OEM corner lenses).
What i used was Yellow Krylon Stained Glass paint. You can find it at a Michaels craft store (they're everywhere). It's about $10 a can.
What i did was:
1) remove corners from car
2) clean the lenses thoroughly to rid them of any dirt or suet (don't want the paint to dry on a funky surface)
3) tape off the black rubber sealing around the lenses so they wont turn a sticky yellow/amber
4) place them on a cardboard box or something similar (don't want the driveway, garage floor turning yellow/amber )
5) spray in even coats over the whole lens in a "sweeping" fashion maybe about 6-7 inches from the lens. do about 5-6 passes over the lenses and let the first coat semi-dry
6) wait about 15-20 minutes
7) go out and do step 5 again
8) repeat steps 5 and 6 until the lenses are at desired color
* Note, the paint dries a bit darker, so be careful how dark you paint them when they're still wet.
9) wait about a day to let them fully dry
10) remove tape from rubber seal
11) Install...voila! you have amber corners within a day and for 1/3 the price of ebay corners!
**You can add a last step of clear coating them to make a nice glaze, although i did not as it was shiny enough.

As for red/clears, you would probably being paying upwards of $250 dollars if you buy them from any aftermarket shop in Toronto (they are a bunch of scammers). Just buy a pair from ebay and make sure you seal them before you install them, moisture is a pain!
