Default true legends - mod originators - chapter one,....

i am interested in the creative and adventurous folks who originate modifications, for a book i am writing. sooo, for a starter,....

does anyone know who did the first D.I.Y. clear corner mod for the one piece headlights? how did they determine the process, finding, the breaking/grinding the three tabs, sliding the reflector into the chamber, breaking it up into small pieces to bring them out through the lamp opening? was this a mod that had been done on other cars' headlight units previously?

who was first, and how did they go about unraveling the process?
