you know what REALLY sucks about my clear corner mod?
I was so excited about installing them I forgot sunscreen and I had my hair in a pony tail... so the back of my neck and shoulders are burnt!
thats ok though.... the look was worth it
cept now it doesnt look so hot cause after I spent all that evening washing it for pictures... we've got 31mph winds today which blew dirt and pollen all over the car... and then it came through and sprinkled rain for literally 30 seconds and then blew more dirt and pollen. So its back to looking like it did in the first photos.
ARGGGGG
I hate spring

lookin good!! A tip>>
when you put the clears in. Have the housing facing you like it is in the picture, but flip it upside down so the corner lens is up top... You'll be able to see if the lens is snapped into place that way. If you are looking at the backside as you put the lens in, they appear to be in all the way but you'll be able to see a small gap when you look at it like I described. I gently pulled the opening in the housing apart while pushing on the lens from the back (along the edge where the retaining tabs are) and that allowed them to snap into place without busting anything. I started at the corner where the little tab is on the very end and worked my way along.
You'll see what I mean when you install them

I'm still debating this, 'cuz if/when I'd do mine, I'd also do LED turns/parks....
which means I'd need to have the car apart for a long time, as I can't pre-make the LED boards before seeing into the space needed.
i looked into buying another set of "used" Xenons, but that cost is too high.

I may have to do this mod to my car! I did it to others but never mine.Does this mean...
I'm a lemming?The real reason was I just couldn't decide whether to paint the entire housing or just part. Procrastination is my forte!
