Thank you
Thank you
You don't really have to "bake" the headlights. Just use a hairdryer, or a bunch of butter knives and screwdrivers. I took the headlights on the Cougar apart like 5 times, and I am a pro now. It just requires some patience and working away the butyl that sticks it all together. I heard the hairdryer helps, but I never used one. I am just too lazy to take the bumper off, or I would be all about this mod!

that sounds like a pain in the ass...i prefer baking the assembly, it's heated on all sides rather than one point with a hairdryer.

That's why you put them in on a lower heat and allow them to "cook" a little longer.yanyan said:
You won't fry the dang things.
I cant believe more people havent offered to pitch in as a community and get a spare pair of headlamp assemblies for tytanium to be able to properly make these things.
I know if I had a MP3 Id pitch in up to 10-20 bux for the development for such a thing. It doesnt seem like there are too many other options for those seeking clears in this car. It looks like you cant just go on Ebay and buy some because of the nature of the entire sealed assembly. You guys should band together as a community and do yourselves a favor and get a kickass product in return. Thats what Id do.
Props to you tytanium for your work in doing this but I can totally see your point of view. This looks like a pain in the ass and you cant be taking your headlights apart to test fit each set you make.
And everyone dont think Im being critical Im just offering a suggestion to help you all who have this goal to further the community and help yourselves at the same time.

after installing my clear corner kit I now have 3 different color lights on my headlights! I want all of them to be clear, any suggestions on matching them?
Sorry, I have been out of the material to make this kit for quite some time. I new the need would still exist, but the need greatly outweighed my supply of material.
Find a spare "lamp diffuser lens" in a cubicle light (e.g. approx 6" x 36") to see if that works. Send a pic and i can tell you if it the correct material.
Good luck...

do you make anything for 99 protege?
99-00 Proteges can buy the clear corners separately. This mod was for the 01+ proteges, where the front lights are one piece.

Ditto.
Considering I've got side-markers coming my way, my 1st thought was getting rid of those fugly ambers...eBay was my first solution, but I figured someone on here had a better/cheaper solution...that's where carbonkid's kits come into play --> kudos on him for putting so much time for this community in developping this kit...
However I'd like to see if someone has material that's a little more clear and would blend in better rather then sticking out (as some old posts in this thread have mentioned), as depicted in the attached pic.
In case someone decides to throw some legal BS my way, the eBay seller for this particular pic is ProExhaust.
