Yeah but you might as well take the extra 30 sec and pull out the one screw that holds them in and do it the right way.

Do you think you might have problems from the COPS on the blue bulbs ? Do most people keep them white or do they add amber bulbs ?

you have to pull off the inserts under the turn signal, then look straight up under the turn signal and you can see the one screw holding the housing in.

but it takes you two seconds to pop out the inserts and unscrew the single screw holding each in, also there is less of a risk of cracking the lens if you pull it out and do it

88ebrake... dude can you PLEASE stop writing with the first letter capitalized? It's hurting my eyes. I did the corners by taking them out and slicing the silicone. The best way would be to heat it up ie. oven, heatgun, blowdryer. Well do you have pics?
Here cops will pull you over for turn signals that arent yellow/red/orange. Luckily the stock bulb in there is rather yellowish and so far no problems. :)

he's saying to get the silicon off the lens, but that screw is way to easy to find and just take off to not do it

i found the screw, and popped it off, its ok looking, but what i really want to do is tint the parking lights, cause that would look sick/.

i just changed my bulbs and it looks good, and then used a silver peice of vinal, or whatever color your car is, and put that over the orange to cover it, simple and looks good, i would post pics but i don't have a digital camera. everyone that's seen it has had to look close to figure out that it's vinal and not paint.

mmmm...
I dunno, here in NYS, the cops will pull you over for anything that doesnt look stock. I.E. when I bought my clear corner lights, I actually got pulled over and warned because the white blinkers were supposedly illegal...He told me I had to buy amber bulbs and then get the car inspected. (he did'nt take away my inspection sticker or anything...so i didn't do that part over...

My advice: if you go clear lenses, get amber bulbs, or else you might end up in trouble.

On a side note, the only reason I bought the clear corner lenses was because the previous owner of my car replaced the bulbs by prying off the covers and gluing them back on. Long story short, they fell off. Just do it the right way.
