blaise was telling me that this was a "free mod". you can take the orange out of your stock corners. the only thing about ebay corner lamps is that they tend to leak after awhile

Thats incorrect as the whole lens is orange.Perhaps you got confused with the headlight mod.You can remove the orange from the headlight.

No you dont have to bake the headlights. Just take them off and you can get to the amber by using a screwdriver to break it up. Just be careful.

Taking off the headlight lens is easier if you are inclined to do it that way. With the screwdriver technique you could really do some damage to the headlight if you arent careful

He may have been referring to the tail lights as well. Some members removed the amber from the older tails.

So where can I get some that don't leak? Or does that just come with the territory regarding these?
