custom made clear corner (pic inside)
Monday, January 19, 2009 7:38 PM
Hi,

I want to share my own custom made clear corner, Quebec legal ^^ because i have a small amber reflector.

Simple, step by step

1. remove the light on the car
2. cut plexiglas with measurement of light
3. put plexiglas to 250 F for 5-7 min
4. take the plexiglas and apply it on the corner light and wait 1-2 min
5. break the plastic on corner and remove the reflector
6. Take a fluorescent panel, cut your white reflective light part
7. cut the amber reflector to put at the end of corner
8. silicon time ^^

I understand the reasoning, but that law is in effect in many places, including Pittsburgh, but t never stopped me, and I have had 0 troubles.


Overall, I like the clear reflector much better than others have made here before.

IMO it looks like isht... should have saved yourself a little hassle and just bought lights from the junkyard, used a dremmel to get rid of the amber lenz through the hole in the back..

or remove the outter clear lense,remove the whole amber replace clear lense.. would have eliminated the look of the silicone mess..
