Cleared Corners and Summer Tires

Post by Baileyjack »

Well after getting moisture in the passenger side headlight i decided to fix it and clear the corners, seeing how i'm unemployed for 2 weeks. Also had my summer tires put on.
I tried to find the Silverstar 3057 but no luck so far.

I've heard Checker/O'Reilly's is the only place stocking the silverstar 3057's anymore. No one else wants to because there is such little demand for them and they just sit on the shelf. Looks good!!!

Thanks guys!
Yep, she came right back to life with the chromies back on. Dumped a bit of weight getting rid of the steelie snows.
I'm hoping that fixes the fogging too Gum. Question for you though if i wanted to reseal them what do you recommend? Everything i've seen is a silicone and hardners.

Beast - so far i can't find any in Canada, but there are a few on ebay cost and shipping for 2 will be under $20 cdn.

Thanks everyone.... :)

I really surprised my husband, when he got home from work i had just installed them and he
was surprised i did it by myself. Told him i did the labor, but the guys at the Pontiac Bonneville Club helpped
out quite a bit....thanks for the great write up.... :banana:

I would like to clear my front corners and would appreciate your advice on the steps to follow. From the pics, it appears you removed the headlights, and then disassembled them to remove and discard an amber interior lens. Can you give some specific details about how to get them out, apart, and back together so they don't leak.

Thanks for your comeback.

On this site, if you have a question about a write up, check Techinfo first. :wink:

Ed,

Thanks for the tip. Before inquiring, I used the site search engine for "cleared corners," and the tech post never came up. But the search was how I found this thread. I appreciate that you led me in the right direction. That tech post was exactly what I need. I'm getting started asap.

I'm not sure whether the search function finds stuff in Techinfo.
