How to Change Orange to Clear Corners?
Does anyone know how to change the front bumper oem orange corners to clear? I saw that they are sold on e-bay, but if it can be done I'd like to do it myself.

If by saying corners you mean turn signal lights then I have seen a thread on how to modify the stock tails to make them red/clear. So if you can find that thread then you should be able to figure out how to change the corners. However the end result was illegal because it did not have the reflective properties of the stock lights.

I was in the same situation as you, but i gave it a try and did it. all you need is a flathead and a philips. first you get a flathead, and put it between the turn signal [the longer one] and the sidemarker and pull the signal part out. and you'll see from there, all you need is a little bit of common sense =]

Yeah this guy needs to make the question more specific, he is leaving it open for possibly two different situations to be talked about. If the question is regarding the front bumper lights, simply read your owners manual (they even provide pictures) and if its in regards to the TAILLIGHTS, then you can either buy them off of ebay which is probably the way to go esp. if you have never tried opening up the lights yourself, but if you dont feel like dishing out money right now then yes it is POSSIBLE to change the orange part of the taillight to clear and there are many threads on it...just RESEARCH.

Sorry about the confusion. My question was regarding the front orange corners. And I was wondeirng if you can change them from the oem orange color to clear without buying new ones off ebay. ie can the orange plastic lens be switched to clear or if you take of the orange plastic lens is there a clear lens underneath.

Do not get the ones from ebay, well unless you wanna have fitment issues and they look like crap.

All of them, no matter where you get them from, will not fit as well as the stock lights. However, unless you're right up next to them, you won't notice.
Before installing them, run a bit of clear silicon caulk around the edge where the lense connects to the housing of each light. There are usually few gaps where water can get in when it rains.
