Default making corner lenses steal proof

I remember reading somewhere not sure if it was on HT or TI about making your corner lenses steal proof. Some **** just stole my clear corners while i was at work and ripped off my bulb sockets too. I just want to know if there's anything i can do so that theives can't steal my corners again. I've thought about getting hex bolts already, if any knows of anything else, let me know.

thanks.

Another way is to drill a hole into the tab on the lense and zip tie that SOB to the car.

They steal anything that isn't bolted down and even that isn't a guarantee.

don't sweat it, just put your stock corners back in and call it a day... I'm sure they will fit better anyway... but if you're paranoid about those getting stolen, too (there was a thread about it last week) you can replace the screw w/ Torx-head screws, and put a little super-glue into the torx head... but then it would be hard to get them out the next time you have to remove them for whatever reason.

oh yeah.. forgot to ask, when they took the lenses they also took the scew. do you guys now what size the screw is? or better yet what size torx head screw i should get. also, besides the dealership where else can i get new sockets or harnesses. not the 194 harness but the larger one. they took those too..

well the 94-97 tegs have the amber turn signals, but they're not all amber. they're like have clear and half amber. i don't like that. if they were all amber i would rock them. I've tried looking for translucent orange/yellow spray paint but i couldn't find them so i stuck with the all clear corners. plus they match my sidemarkers.

the problem with you making them steal proof, is that thief don't know that they are. they will still try and end up just braking the lens and scratching the car.
