Default Clear Corners

I wanna clear the corners on my '96 ES, but am afraid I will get condensation in them. Has anyone who has cleared the corners had any problems?

Make sure you heat them up well when you put them back together, and run a bead of black silicon or something along the edge to make sure they are sealed. If you do those things, you should be OK. I had some condensation in one of mine after doing it, but took it out and resealed it, no problems since.

Cool... thanks for your input. I will go ahead and try it. I guess the worst that can happen is I will have to redo it.

1loadlex: You took the orange out of your taillights? How does that look? Do you have any pic?

Thanks again..

mine worked well, and i didnt use silicon, mine were messed up and foggy before i did the mod, but after they were tight. i left them in the last time with the screws in and reconnected for 10 minutes so that it was completely sealed. it worked well. its tight

I should have pics of my car up soon too, just gotta finish the roll of film. Maybe I'll snap a pic of the clear corners with the stock bulbs, although I'm sure there are some around if you look for them.
