Clear corner install help

[Dominic]

Does anyone have tips on installing clear corners on a 98+ Camaro? I just ordered some [img]smile.gif[/img]

Im pretty excited, the ones I won look nice and are crystal clear like the headlamps.



$38

Also if anyone has any advice on bulbs let me know about that too.

Cool, I bought the same lights. The install is simple but time consuming because it's hard to get to that area. Just take your time or they will look like crap and have spaces showing around them. The light sits in kind of a "cradle" so you'll have to pull it up and then out. Of course you'll have to remove those black panels from under the nose to access the area. You'll also need a phillips screwdriver. I think there is 2 screws per light. Hope that helps. Here's a pic of what mine look like.

installing my clear corners was a bi*ch!!! i had to hack and cut a lot of the black styrofoam crap inside our bumpers. it wouldnt of been so hard if the cutting wasnt so akward to get to. took me some time, ok ok, a lot of time i didnt plan on taking. took me about 3 hours from under the car. just plan on using some sort of long, sharp blade to do some hacking before you even get the orange lights out. id say cut about a 3" block into the foam before you unscrew the origionals. the crap is dense too, so it will be a little difficult. but after you do all the cutting, the install should be easy. bulbs should come with the orange bulbs... mine did and i got em off ebay. i think they make the car look 1000 times better and accent the headlights a lot better that the stock orange ones. good luck and post some pics whan your done!

How come there is still some orange in the clear corner pics?

Cause the lights are on. The bulbs are orange.

Relatively simple install.

First get the front end up, remove the front spoiler (air dam), on both sides unbolt the black plastic splash panels, look up and you will see the corner light assembly. Remove the two small bolts from the assembly. Gently twist out the bulbs from the assembly. Remove the light assembly by tilting it out. You may have to pull down on the flexible plastic tray the light assembly sites in to remove the assembly. It is a little tight.

To install the clear corners, simply reverse the process.

In terms of bulbs, I like Xenon gas filled bulbs.

Yeah, Red2k1 is right on the money. It's really an easy install. It took me about 30 mins, 15 mins per clear corner.

go to advance auto and get some apc super white 3157 and 194 bulbs, looks a lot better and its legal.

Are these lights white or more of a blueish color. You think they will look good on my red camaro? Since I'm going with blue accessories.

[AllTheGoodNamesAreGone]

blue/white turn signal bulbs are pretty much never legal.. I will keep the yellow and not look like a ricer, thank you..

Wow, on 93-97 firebird years its easy, pop your headlights, remove the plastic around the light and squeeze your hand down, there is only 2 bolts [img]smile.gif[/img] I don't have clear corners, but I keep having to change bulbs, as the light on the right of my car keeps bursting
