AE corners

I'm doing my corners today. I was wondering if there are any precautions I should take when doing them. Also, is the procedure exactly like the headlights.

Yeah the procedure is exactly like doing the headlights. I think AE'ing the headlights is much easier then the corner lights. Take your time with them or else you'll end up cracking them. I dont know if it was just my imagination or not but the corner lights seemed like it had a lot more glue holding them together. So just take your time and you'll be allright. Goodluck!

Well, I just finished them. They were a pain in the **** to take apart. So much glue. Anyways, I'm satisfied with the final product.

Great, now you can do mine when we meet up. For a small fee, of course

haha, They're not that hard to do. If you can do the AE headlights, then you can definitely do these. I didn't bother taping around the corners, instead I just painted the whole thing black. I'll take a picture in a few minutes.

i had a hell of a time. i didnt want to melt it or crack it. i did crack one ever so slightly. IMO they were the hardest to open up. when i did the tails it was so easy. not one crack!

All black dont fit together with the rest of the headlights. Plus I heard light output goes down because of the reflecting nature of the side lights.

Well, I like the all black look better. I guess it's just a matter of opinion. The partial looks good but, I like the all black more.

I didn't do my headlights, though, maxgtr2000 did them when he put in my projectors. I'm not attempting the corners myself, either, because I already took my spare broken one and tried to do it just for the heck of it and ended up cracking the lense.
