Just wondering if anyone has a how-to for 98+ clear corners or could tell me how to do it? I know its just a matter of removing the reflector, but I wanna know the easiest way to go about doing this. Thanks

"easiest" way is to reach in with a screwdriver covered with duct tape and pop it out. "safer" way is to drill in the housing behind the tabs and break the tabs, reflector falls right out, break it up with needle noses, shake it out, then fill the holes you drilled with silicon. your choice. either one has been known to work great for some people. believe there are more success stories with the 2nd method though.

hard to remove the headlight?! you mean the 3 screws holding the unit on the car? it's as easy as 1-2-3.

well i finished the clear corners and they look great. going to buy xenon blue turn signals and high beams tomorrow to complete them. i already have the low beams so i'm all set with that.

this headlight set was kind of my experimental one so i didnt worry to much about them comin out perfect. they are a little hazzy and have small spots on them from rocks. so once i get a new set, i can make sure they come out perfect since i know how to do it now.

thanks again for the help

I want to do this mod but I am afraid of the moisture getting into my headlights. They are to expensive to risk.

no need to worry bout moisture, ur not breaking the seal on the lights or anything. the only thing to worry about is scratching the housing of the headlight when breaking the reflector. just take ur time

i was worried bout doin mine too but after doing them, i found its so simple to do.
