I will take more pics this evening when I get home and post them. Yeah I was a little scared about destroying the originals but one of mine had a crack on the orange lense so I figured what the hell. But honestly getting the light out of the bumper was probably the biggest headache. On the cracked one I didnt even bother using a heat gun but actually just carfully broke the damaged lense of the housing using pliars.

Thanks for shrinking the pic and attaching it, as evident im not to good with these. My SC is a 93 and thanks I like how it looks and the white also. It took me forever to find a pearl white with low mileage.

 

See ya later...

Hey, explain how to take out the side markers too ......

I'm trying to avoid asking it later...

Taka,

Sorry I missed your question

It was real simple I just tapped into the wires for the parking light that goes next to the headlights, then extended the wires down and attached them to the cornering lights. I just cut about 4 inches above the harness on the cornering lights. Its also easy to figure which wires go together since the each set have a black striped wire for the neg.

 

The easiest way to get to both the sidemarkers and the cornering lights is to remove the bottom section plastic lining in the front wheel well. This piece streches up to the front bumper and is held on by about 4 or 5 bolts in the wheel well and about 4 more under the front section of the car. I just kind of felt around and removed all the bolts I could find. Once you have loosened up the platic ( I didnt want to come of the car but I might have missed some bolts) it slides down enough and you can reach throught the opening in the wheel well and the sidemarker is held on by 2 10mm bolts from behind. I would stongly reccomend you remove the wheel when doing all of this due to lack of clearence. Since I was already in there I also decided to change out all the bulbs(driving, sidemarker and the bottom lights) to hyperwhite HID type bulbs. It really makes front end alot brighter and having the cornering lights on all the time actually improves visibility more than I thought.

 

So where did you get the clear lens material?

 

At Home Depot, its the plastic sheets for the in ceiling fluorecent light fixtures. They actually have a couple different designs. the honeycomb one I got looked closest to a car lens.

Thanks SCream... I am going to tackle this lil' project . I am going to contact "Banking" to see if I can buy the side lights off of his wrecked SC that he is parting out.. I will like to have an extra set in case I mess them up or the are cheesy looking in the flesh...

They look damn good on the monitor!!! I must give you props on this mod.

If anyone need parts contact "Banking", he has a SC400(I think it is a 92' - 96 model)...

 

Ikon,

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

Van

 

No more info or pics?

 

Sorry didnt get back early enough.
Let me know what particular pics or info you would like and I can take them this afternoon.

 

Could you take a few more pics in the day? Upclose at all angles in the light?

Also on the cornering light conversion to "fog lights" did you use the 'Hyper white' 1156 or did you change out the entire bulb socket? There was an old thread with a member putting H3(I think) type of bulbs in the cornering light housing. I forgot how he angle them in there to keep out condensation...

 

Wow, that is nice. Please post pics, I'd love to see others with this mod. I am making a list of stuff for when it gets warm again (or I start heating the garage).

 

hey SCream, are you corner lights still pointed off to the sides? i was looking into rewiring my corner lights to be fogs without having to purchase any new ones. but if it comes down to it, i geuss i might have to
