Hey NS8IABL:
If you're car is a Mystique I'd say it's not worth the headache and scratches to the inside lenses. I read a thread on removing the orange reflector and assumed it was for both cars and I was wrong. The Stique is damn near impossible. I did it, but I ended up scratching the hell outta my inside lenses.
Just wanted to give my experience.
Peace.

I agree with moe. The Contours are fairly flat reflectors whereas our Mystiques are angled and set in differently. It's a no go. Unless you totally removed the clear plastic and resealed it.
Not worth the trouble. IMHO

It's illegal since the front reflector is a DOT requirement but the enforcement depends on the priorities of the local authorities and wether or not you have to go through vehicle inspections. No vehicle inspections here and the cops don't seem to really care. Have guys running around here with clear, blue, purple, green, nearly all colors of the rainbow in their clear corners. I have the stock amber bulbs in mine, just to be safe!  ------------------ P. Valdez Las Cruces, NM 1999 navy blue SE Zetec ATX If you must drink and drive, drink PEPSI! My Car's Page!

when i was reading the How to i noticed that he says that you need silicone, althought he doesn't mention why i'm assuming that you use it to "patch the holes" so no water gets in your headlight assembally,
