Default clear corners.. prevention from theft??

Do any of you ppl wonder if your corners or side markers will get stolen? what do you guys or gals do about it?

I was just curious.. b/c when i go to my gf's house... i sometimes hafta park far away from the house... so yah.. i dont want ppl yoinking my corners..

i thought about soddering the hole of the screw up.. say its a flat head.. you fill that line in with sodder.. and if you need to change the bulbs? yoink out the whole bumper or the ruber part from underneath??? i dunno.. i think i have too much time on my hands in class haha... just curious thats all...

If your clear corners get stolen, buy mine, $22 shipped.
Only used for one year, comes with bulbs.

i put superglue in the heads of the screw. takes me a good 10-15 minutes to chisel out w/a dremel when i need to change the bulb!

you could just use a flat head screw and place a nut on the other side. it just takes a minute to get them off but at least you can't yank em out.

I had my clear corners stolen in broad daylight at the supermarket!

You can use Torx head screws and the thiefs will probally not have that screw driver handy, you can also screw them in from the back.

If I can remember correctly I THINK they are sheet metal screws size #6

i want to replace my clear corners though,i want them to be like the 98+ oem corners, however, the 94-97 oem corners are half amber half clear...i could try to paint them
yeah, I would take some 94-97 clear corners and spray paint them with Orange stained glass spray paint. Someone did it on here and it looked VERY good.

I agree with gsrracerboy, but I doubt anyone would steal your corner lights, but who knows they must be real desperate.
