Hey guys, I read all the posts and I still don't understand how to make my corner lights brighter, anyone could explain again? Also, on the bumper lights, can the ones located towards the inside, front be any brighter?

I read those threads and I don't really understand it. As far as taking the light out, just pry it up with something, you'll see a that it snaps onto the headlight, put something on the headlight to protect it and then pry it.

Corner lights are simple. Cut up on the tape of the corner light's wires a little so you will have some slack. There are three wires. Take the two that are not black and cut and splice them to the opposite color. Once you have switched them, tape em up reall good so water can't get in there and then your done. It should look a hell of a lot brighter. And plus this mod is free!

You can do it. You just have to be careful. Remove the screw thats right on top at the corner as you open the hood. Then take a flat blade screwdriver and carefully pry the corner light back. There at the bottom near the front you'll see a post that goes into a hole. That pops out under a fair amount of pressure. Get the screwdriver in there and gently pry it loose. It'll come out with some work.

Good luck!

Yes, just look in between the headlight and the corner light, about halfway down on the side of the headlight is where the post inserts into the headlight. It is basically a ball socket thing. The best and safest way to pop this out is to take a long flathead screwdriver and put the tip in between the lights where they connect at the balljoint thingy, then twist the screwdriver. When you look at your car, you'll see what I mean.
