Elegant... yeah at first i was thinking $120?!?!? but i got to thinking, that would of taken me about 5-6 hours to do myself. and there is a chance i would mess something up. my cousin cleared his corners on his accord and cracked the casing. so he is now out $400 to replace that. and Generation 1 garuntees their work... i.e.. moisture in the casing..they will fix.

Hmmm..haha..I think $120 doesn't sound that bad after all!! hehe, yeah, I'm afraid that will happen, also I'm butt lazy~!!!

Can you give me their contact info? do they have a web site? phone number? I look for Dean right? How long would it take to do? Address?! Thanks man.

Looks sweet! Must be nice to be able to wax your car this time of year. The wax would freeze before I could apply it here .

Clear Corners in NJ???

This modification looks really nice. Badazz's post mentioned that someone in NJ can do this. Do you have any idea of where they are and do you have contact info?

I'd like to get it done, but never doing it before, I don't want to mess up.

it looks alright. for those that think the headlights are too big already, this mod makes it worse. i actually like the orange in mine so i'm keeping them.

enjoy the car and happy modding!

I agree w/ you dude, especially for our color. How do you think side corner lights would look on em' (like on the BMW's)??

fear? not really. i would of done it myself. but i hear a lot of horror stories. my cousin cracked his casing.. now he is out $400. so.. this is simple economics.... if i do it.. would take about 6-8 hours... (pretty much all day) i can make more than $125 in that time working. second.. if i do mess up the casing.. time for me to buy another casing. more money. then, what if i do it right... then the next week, i see moisture. there is another 6-8 hours. i would gladly pay $125 for someone to do it for me. and the $125 included the 4 replacement bulbs.

question

chrism7855

kimeh, all i did was replaced the bulbs. the size are 1156. if you want red turn signals. go with the polarg M22s. they look so tight at night. and if you want white.. which are illegal in cali, get the polarg M7. the thing is you are going to have to file one of the knobs off the bulb. you will see what i mean when you get the bulb its self. on the stock bulbs, there are two knobs... aprox at 10 o'clock and 2 o'oclock. and the polargs, are at 11 and 3 o'clock. if you have no idea what i mean by that.. just think about where those numbers are on the face of a clock. all you have to do is file one of those down. then you are set to go. the M7s will make them a lot brighter than the ambers that come stock. but just know you will get pulled over. Didn't know that a buddy of mine, had them on his eclipse. then got pulled over, and got a fix it ticket for that and a ton of other things. anyways, i think the red ones look really clean.
