Clear Corners for a 97' Civic
Well, I was searching around looking for some clear corner headlights for my civic. When I stumbled upon someone who will sell you directions on how to make ur own (I'm not going to buy them) I just wanted to know if it is possible... Any thoughts on how to do it guys? If anyone has done it, let me in on the info. 
Thanks.
-Tommy

I was never going to buy the instructions... I just want to know how to do it from someone that has already done it.

exactly what B16b hatch said...
i think the only way you can reach the reflector is to open the housing...look in the appearance forum for how to abke your headlights and at the same time black them and take the reflector off

Re: (Jus4U2NV)
make sure you seal it up good when you put it back together so you get no moisture in the headlight... but its very easy to do without spending much money

you can even do it with a hir dryer....takes a little longer, but you wont melt any thing that you dont want to....just another option...thats how i did it on my 98 (when i had it)

How long did it take you to do it with a hair dryer? Seems like this method has a lot less room for error.

Re: Clear Corners for a 97' Civic (CiRcUiTsi)
yeah...it doesnt take that long...but it helps to have someone help you....one person can hold the hairdryer, while the other one prys the headlight open (carefully) with a slotted screwdriver...just be careful not to break the housing....then re-seal it with some silicone from autozone, pep boys, etc. and let dry.....good luck....
