Default clear corners on fg?

since the front turn signals are attached to the headlight assembly in the fg's, how do i get clear corners for it? would i have to buy a whole new headlight assembly? or is there any way to do it without having to spend a ton of money? thanks for any help.

You have to open the headlight up. 3 screws take out the piece

yeah i saved the video DIY.... you gotta bake em, so if youre not willing to do that on your own, youre going to pay a lot for someone else to do it.

Heres another real good write up.

http://fgcoupe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=257

I recommend re sealing them with a black silicon and when you take them out the oven you need to be fairly quick. I had an advanatage putting them back together because I have a heat gun. I just blasted them shut!

looks damn good, only thing im worried about is would the instructions in the video apply even tho i dont have an si? they specify that they are doing that on an si, and im just wondering if the whole procedure is going to be exactly the same?

The civic coupe lights are all the same to the best of my knowledge, the SI just got the fancy nonfunctional orange halos.

I was a little concerned about that at the very beginning. Like I said above I went and bought extra silicon to apply when I reassembled them. I wash my car once a week and it gets weathered just like everyone elses...and knock on wood no problems yet. Worst case scenario you can just take out your turn signal bulbs and the moisture will escape if anything happens.

No way I got rid them too..they are pointless. I also put tape on one side of the bulb connectors so my parking lights don't come on just my turn signals (personal preference). and I love the sylvania turn signal bulb!
