Clear Corners
Stock clear corners can be cleared right, its just a matter of opening the lense up and removing the amber, or would i need to cut it out with a dremel or something...
i think thats what i'll do over the weekend

Yep, i did my first set that way.
You can just heat up the adhesive and peal them apart too, just take your time!!!!! i cannot stress that enough.
Good luck!

mmk
i did it
but im not sure i like it, cuz you see the bulb in plain sight...
i'll see what dad'* opinion is before i seal it back up and head out for me amber bulbs...
then after i set it on the car to see what it looks like, i trun the lights on and you know, just checking it out, then im done and i'm bringing it back into the garage and it feels weird and i look at it and im like #@&%!
its warped
either it was there before (which i know it wasn't) or it was the heat from the oven...i was able to grasp it with my bare hand still so i dont think it got that hot but apparently it was enough, i know it doens't take much but #@&%....and i didn't even notice it when i was pulling it appart :?
it doesn't line up anymore
