Post by BittenHard »

Maybe a silly question for most but here goes, how do I clear the corner lenses on my 04 GXP? I want to do the front and back.

Your wanting to clear the corners in the back? I am pretty sure they are already. The fronts I am assuming its the same way as doing it on any 00+ car.

Hey now! No question is a stupid question.

"Clear Corners" refer to the removal of the amber corner section of your cars headlights. You will notice this in my sig picture.

BTW, I am only refering to the 00+ model year. I believe for the earlier model years you can actually purchase the clear corners to replace the stock units.

Hope this helps. :wink:

The clear corners are pretty easy. You just need to seperate the front of the light from the back slowly. Then once the lights are in two parts, just take the reflector out. Then put the light back together and back in the car. This was the second mod to the bonnie.

dunno if he's still watching this after 6 months. I didnt even dis-assemble that far. just peeled back the corner a bit and wiggled the orange out. i was trying not to upset the seal, and it still got condensation in it the first time i re-assembled.

I did mine when the car was just over a year old and the rubber was still soft, so I didn't need to put them in the oven, and no moisture in them.
