:cough: rice! :cough:

Now, to answer your question, you can make your own clearcorners.. but they are not produced.

heat up the corner lens (without the bulb, wires, etc..) in the oven until you can get the orange cover off. Once that orange cover is off, you can use Lexan or some other clear flexible plastic/plexiglass type material, and heat that up until it's maliable. Then use rubber bands (tons of them) to clamp it all in place while the adhesive dries.

before you put that clear plastic layer on, though.. I would suggest painting the reflective object with a chrome paint or something. A light wet-sanding of the lense also will help the light to distribute throughout the corner lense.. instead of just being a flicker you can see through the lense (which, btw.. might be illegal).

Good luck. I"d suggest getting a spare pair to work on so you don't destroy yoru stock ones in case something goes wrong.

jason, im interested in how you know all this, like youve done it, but yet you call it rice?

[Luc]

no my last car was worse than rice it was a 93 dodge spirit. it was white with black stripes blue interior neons, blue undercar kit, 2 10 inch subs and the strobes. the car was crap but it did sick burnouts.

thanks ill go to a junk yard and practice on some of the corners i find there.

oh, 1 more thing, what temp. should the oven be at?

No, not teh clear corners, I was talking about teh blue strobes.. I've never actually done it myself, but i've seen a few write-ups on how to do this sort of thing on other cars.. namely the 5th gen. celica. Alot of it is just a bit of creative thought.. more than concrete knowledge.

I"d do it, but I want to source some spare corners before I attempt it, that, and I'm not sure where to find the clear plastic material that I'm looking for.

I would start at low temps.. like, 250-300 for 5-10 minutes at a time.. just feel it out until you get it right. But make sure you put the corner on some foil on a baking sheet.. maybe even on a towel so it doesn't melt from heat contact.

[jbone2322]

on a towel the fibers will stick to the melting plastic. id say foil. use foil. with spray butter shit.
