Anyone ever attempted to cut apart and remove the amber lense from a set of first gen corners? If so, how did it turn out, and what did it look like on the car?
1st gen clear corner lenses?

it's just showing a [?] for the pic on my phone now, maybe you can load the pics, I deleted them from my phone library but they were posted by Laser so I dunno.
Anyway, I used 2 pocket screw drivers and a box cutter to get them apart, and clear plastic solid silicone to put em together, had to use gorilla super glue for the chrome strip and black trim

I decided to be lazy and lay some chrome tape over the amber part, got the idea from someone on here who had a pic. I just bought clear corners for my TBird, can't stand that amber crap.

Just FYI, the amber is a DOT regulation and you can be cited for not having it

I saw this online about a year ago... Fell in love with the car but never followed through. I'm guessing it's silver vinyl like the one they make the car decals out of. I'm planning on doing that with a few other things in February. If you end up doing it first keep us posted!

I've got a junk corner lense. Im going to attempt it. If it turns out well, I may do a set to swap in once the car is back to 100%. I planned to put clear tinted vinyl on the headlights and taillights to" smoke" them without doing permanent harm to my nearly brand new headlight housings, and use the amber silverstar bulbs in the corners and turn signals....

Not surprising at all, fortunately the amber LED bulb behind it can still be seen well at night, and the amber not being there doesn't attract any notice during the day (looks like it was made that way.) So unless somebody's REALLY paying attention, I'll be fine. Good looking out for anyone who may read this thread, though.
