I30 corners...please read

Ok, aftermarket support just for the I30 sucks. No body kids, corners, or other cosmetic items. I know some people have blackout corners for the 5th gen. I was wondering it that was possible on my car, since they don't make clears. thanks

You can clear them yourself with a hairdryer (or at least the orange ones you can). And then get some blackout paint and just paint away.

I think Kev said you can't remove the orange part from the lens. If that is true, if I just paint it black, will the light still go through? Or I also heard you can tint the corner. Come on guys what do you think?

clearing out the orange lens is POSSIBLE... some one on the .org (forget who) had it done to their I30... and lemme attach a pic of one that is cleared out... all you need is a heatgun/blow dryer, heat up the lens, slowly (I MEAN SLOWLY!!) inch a flat tip screwdriver around the lens to loosen the glue seal. Take off the lens, and chip off that orane piece of garbage... then get some clear silicone, and go around the lens again, resealing it.. done!

here is the pic.... My I30 looks exactly the same as the ones below, except no clears I need to clear them out one day... it looks alot better...
