has anyone cleared their corner lights themselves?

has anyone here actually cleared their corner lights themselves? and if so, how?


i have read things in the past, how difficult is it to remove the bumper? should i not use my headlights for a while? can i remove the bulb for the corner lights with out taking off the bumper?

All i did instead of going through all that trouble and your lights foging up just put a decal over it. Its a sort of contact paper. I got ove to match my Silver car. My freind used chrome paper. dosent matter but it cost like $5 and go to some tint shop an dtell them to do it for you. Prob charge $10.

I cleared my own. Just use the instructions in the FAQ section on the right.

It's not easy to do. I recommend doing what was posted above.

acura3200,
how do you avoid getting moisture in the lights? are there certain weather days i should avoid? do i have to park the car indoors that night?

Theres a silicone called "Right Stuff" that I used to keep moisture off just try and seal the headlights with it.

I think to remove the headlight, u have to take the bumper off? (From the FAQ.... I recall... )
And tail lights are not cleanable.... I've tried... the best I could do is make the centre part redish... so it looks like yellow-red-yellow... and the light comes out red... not yellow at all.... looks a lot better at night...

no you dont have to remove the bumper to change the corner bulb. look in your manual, it tells you step-by-step how to do it

yeah, it looks pretty cool... I should do that too... but was wondering the same question, will the light go throught?
And if yes, does it still come out yellow? or some other color?

It's called "Vinyl"... you should be able to get it in some arts store.. and according to a fellow from the post, he said you should be able to get it in some ad-stores as well....

And the thing around my gauge is the neon tube...
