RE: Azncraft...
http://maximanorth.homestead.com/fil..._mods_rwcl.htm . Shouldn't take you more than 1 hour total - VERY EASY. If you have any questions IM me, PM me, or eMail me. Its so easy and the corners are over three times as bright (8watt--->27watt). Look in my sig, thats a 27 watt rewire...

1. clip off top notch thing.
2. when you put the bulb back in, put in in a way so the bottom notch goes into the space where the top notch orignally went (backward), so you only need to push it down a bit.
hope this helps...you should definatly notice it brighter and it'll shine light on the sides too.

I think you might be putting the bulb in the same way...after you have clipped the top notch...put the bulb so the bottom notch goes into the slot where the top notch would orginally go...you will definatly know the difference even with the stock 1157 bulbs.

Hey
Thanks for all the help
But Does this work on those Blue lights too?
i have the blue ones, high watts
And Yea, I tried doing that, what you said
(with the stock bulb)
And The bulb doesn't even light up.
Here is what I did:
1. Took the bulb out
2. I cut off the notch that was on TOP with a nail clipper
3. Put it in the top place, and turned it on..
Light is not even turning on..
Maybe some other problem?

I think your bulb might be busted...no reason for it not to light up, also the notch that you cut is the one closes to the bulb and not the one near the bottom.
As far as danger...the housing gets pretty hot and could melt wiring if you use a wattage too high. I would not go above 27W, that's just me.

I had the same problem with the bulb not coming in...I think the spring below wasn't pushing on the bulb hard enough...I pulled on the base to bring it into better contact with the bottom of the bulb and it works fine now.

pull the light out a bit then find the ball and socket joint. It is toward the front of the car on on the botton of the clearance light. spray a lot of WD40 in the ball-and-socket joint. Stick a flathead in between the ball and socket and gently pry it out, it should pop right out.
