I heard a heat gun will take off the amber lens. It is something a buddy from Chicago told me. I will give him a call to see about any details. I've been wanting to do this but it's too damn cold here right now
hey bazooka joe-
what did you make it out of??? and is the seal tight??

there is a gap you cant fix unless you mod the bumper....now that i know a little more, the rx7 or eclipse clears seem to work better.

And where would one pick this rubber door trim up? Those are the RX-7 lights from Pro Car Parts? Looks really good, did you do any other modifications aside from the rubber trim?

I picked the rubber door trim at any Auto-zone type place. It's the stuff that also comes in chrome, and looks really ghetto whem ppl put them on the doors of their cars. Yeah, those are the Pro-Car parts ones. You have to cut alot of plastic off the back of the lens, and you have to trim the bumper just a hair.
EDIT: Almost forgot, you have to peel the black foam trim off that comes on the lens' .
Double Edit: Procarparts has them on e-bay alot cheaper, so if you get them, get them from e-bay.

I have a pair of RX-7 clears on my bumper now. With a touch more cutting of the bumper, the lenses fitted perfectly, without having anything on their back shaved.
The only problem I found was that the lenses weren't flush against the bumper, leaving a gap about the thickness of a quarter. And that they moved back and forth slightly.
This may sound a bit ghetto, but the way I remedied this problem was by wedging a few coins in between the screw that holds the lens in place and the bumper.
The lenses are now flush against the bumper and secured very well. In fact, I didn't have to use any excess door trimming whatsoever. The stock lenses snap back into place as well, with no problem.
I'd take some pics, but my digicam has suffered an early death.
I'll shoot you a PM with my number if you need help installing

hey MP52266...talk to Lisakay...she sent me a PM of her new clear corner lights, and they are made for our cars. I had never seen them b4, but she has pics of them on her website. I think they look awesome.
