So, many of us have already done the front and or rear clear corner mod. But it seems as though this subject comes up fairly regularly, so since I was already in the process of doing mine for the second time, I thought I would put together a quick how to for this popular mod. Hopefully it will help someone in the near future....
As I said, this is the second time I have done this mod on my car. The first time I swapped the front corner lenses, the vendor (who will remain nameless) shipped me the clears with the built in orange reflector. This was back in the day when there was a bunch of fuss about legality, DOT regulations, yada, yada, yada....Anyway, not wanting to pay a rather hefty re-stocking fee, I went ahead and installed em. They are not bad, but just did not work with my car.....Anyway.....
Before.....
For those that have never done this mod, the first thing you will think is that the vendor has shipped you the wrong lens. They probably have not done so. The lens looks quite large, in comparison to the exposed area of lens you will end up with...
There are several methods people have used to complete this mod. You can access the lens from under the front fascia, you can peel back the fender liner to access it, and I have even heard of some folks accessing the lens from above....I prefer to use a combination of the under the fascia, peel the fender liner method. As with any mod that involves being under the car, SAFETY FIRST!! Take a few minutes to do the job safely, so you will be able to step back and enjoy your work when you are done.
Wheel Chock in place....
Jack and jackstands as well.....
From under the front fascia, this is the lens that is the target of your mod. Again, it is easily accessable from just under the front of the car....
On the outboard side of the lens, there are two winged white pins, as well as a solid guidepin in the middle.....
On the inboard side of the lens, there is a tab on the lens, that slides into a slot on the front fascia....
