Default melted my stanley corners!!!

lol, i just put my jdm clear stanelys in the oven to take the cover off, so i could remove the amber bulb casing and they melted! i preheated to 325 and then put them in for about 5min, i was checkin on them about ever 30 seconds, they were fine one minute and then the next time i checked the lense colapsed on itself. i was pretty pissed but i dont really give a **** now... does anyone know where i can get a good clean knock-off set for like 20$?

also, i will be doing an audi a4 hid retrofit into a set of denji projectors next week, does anybody know the time and temp to get the glass off the projector lights w/out destroying those too.

lol, remind me never to eat any of your brownies, cakes, cookies or other baked goods!

I think others usually only bake at 200, according to the many various posts on this. Shoulda searched H-T first knucklehead!!

why take the amber out? isnt that what seperates the JDM stanleys from just basic clears?

i would get another set of real ones. knock offs will most likely leak and or fit like crap. and if you don't bake them at over 225 degrees they will be fine.

Yeah, why the hell were you trying to take the amber part out of the corners?

Just buy some normal clears... the ones w/o the clear reflector... just all clear "vision-style".

Scared there would be a little bit of vague amber color in your clear corner? Weirdo.

damn i shoulda dusted off the flame suit for this thread, i dont care about peopel being able to identify that i have jdm corners or not, i like the all clear look better than amber and i wanted the quality and fitment of the oem stanleys... i have knock offs now and like spoon hybrid said they leak and look like ***, but i figured its hit or miss with them so thats why i asked if anyone knows a site that sell decent ones. i might just get another set of stanleys and leave them alone, at the risk of being a jdm *****.
