New Clear Corners

[haro1225]

I found a bonneville in the junkyard and it had a good set of corner lenses.
I picked them up for 5 bucks and i cleared them, and I got yellow bulbs for 3 dollars from Autozone.
Not too bad for 8 dollars and 15 minutes.

hey, i've been lookin for clear corners, and have one posted on the Wanted...how do you clear, OEMs?
I need new corners anyways because i ran into someone and it made a dent and busted my corner light.. also how would you get a dent out that leads into the corner socket, but doesn't exactly warp the socket...i'll take pictures if you don't understand.

This is how I cleared my corners. (this should work for all the 96-99 bonnes)

You will need a small flathead screwdriver, any type of strong clear glue ( i used the glue that is for inflatable pool patches), and yellow or amber 194 bulbs.

Once you have the lens removed, take off the black rubber trim around it, its attached in three places. Use the screwdriver to gently pry it up.


That will leave you with this:


Take the screwdriver and gently pry all around the gray piece. Sort of work it loose.




Once it starts coming loose, carefully pull the pieces apart by hand.
Now you have 2 pieces.
The yellow lens popped out easily on the first one I did, if it doesn't come out easy, take the screwdriver and gently pop it out.


This leaves you with the outer clear lens, and the gray piece with the refletive part.
If the edges on the clear part are rough, its the old adhesive that held the lens together, it just flaked off for me. (You may need a small file for this.)
Once that is removed, take the clear glue and put it around the lip of the gray piece. (highlighted in yellow)


Here is the finished product, minus the black rubber trim glued back on.

Now you have clear corners.
All thats left is to install them on the car with the yellow bulbs and look cool.

Good work!

Now, when you get a few more $$, pick up a couple SilverStar ambers to replace the yellow bulbs and the coolness will just ooze out of your car...

Here's what I mean:

Is that the same procedure for the 94 bonnies?
