1. remove your corner lamps.
2. turn your oven on to 250degrees (altitude based).
3. unwrap pizza.
4. place pizza in oven.
5. let cook for 15mins
6. remove pizza and let cool
7. cut pizza in several slices
8. eat pizza.
9. reinstall corner lamps
10. drive car around and be happy that you're no longer hungry and your corner lamps look fine.


or do a better search.

wow what a jerk..
but he is right on the search part
corner lamps are easy ... i bought some krylon stain glass paint and some masking tape.. took off my corners cleaned them and taped them and sprayed them.. i did like 4-5 layers from like 10-12 inches away. i did 2 layers at a time and let it dry for more then a couple of hours before i sprayed on the other layers... post pics later when i find the cord for my camera

haha perfect

Someone did a write up on this very recently. Always search before posting. Quick help... he used stained glass window paint. Search for it, then go get your pizza... it's burning.

With the pics I see what your talking about. If your not a crafts man you can get these style corners (above article pics) fo about $30 or less on line.

theres no need to take the light apart, just remove it from the car and paint...the paint will hold up and last a long time (won't scratch off unless you scrape the hell out of it)
