HOW TO: Clear your corners! (now with pics!)

[seth98esT]

First time I did it, it took me a few hours just to take off the front bumper and to get the headlights off. Ive never really timed myself clearing em cause I cleared my JDMs before I started working on the car. But it was a whole day project. Now I can get the front bumper and headlights off in like 20 minutes

actually i didnt jack up the car, only on 1 i did then i learned i didnt have to

tru tru

i tried to get my jdms apart today but didnt have any luck. i threw them in the over

for about 3 or so minutes...the black plastic around the headlight was soft, but the headlight was stuck to the housing. i tried to pry with a scredriver but it didnt budge. did i not cook them long enough? BTW, the oven door was shut, i just opened to take a pic haha

[QnzMostWanted]

when the black got soft, u should have worked open the corner like the how u do the oem, then it all would have just came apart

[seth98esT]

o, i thought the black part being soft was bad haha ill try it again tonight...

[krazienluv10]

Sure there is. I did. Well I cheated though. I was at a junkyard so I just bent the fenders back and pulled the T-bar up. Front end is pretty messed up now cause of me but oh well, it's junk anyway. I finally got these things cleared, and they were a bitch to get apart. That factory sealant is horrible to work with. At first I was trying with a hairdryer so then I finally said screw this and put them in the oven at about 200 degrees or so for about 4 minutes and ripped them apart. Oh well it was worth it.

haha, well there is no way of taking the headlights out without severe damage to ur fenders unless u take off the bumper

[sstriker_ccool]

wellz diz will really help me a lot!!!!! ILL reply back after ill be done.. hopefully it wont take me ages to finish

[CayanGalant]

Im a newbie, and i uderstand how to do this but is it necessary to jack the car up to do this or can it be done without?

[seth98esT]

you can do it w/o jacking the jar up, but the first time its a bit easier to see the bolts if u jack up the car and take off the wheel, but not necasary at all

[bronxbombr]

For all you Newbs out there you do know that Denver and I clear corners.
Hit us up with year of your car and location.

[laxattack2001]

is it better to put the healight housing in the oven?

[QnzMostWanted]

u can do it, but it doesnt make the process any easier

[neXus]

Eh, I didnt see if this was mentioned on the first page, but instead of going through the aggravating process of dismantling your front end to clear the corners, I just took the Night Shade everyone is using on their tail lights and used it on my corners. Looks good.

[josh_877]

so im sitting at home today and thinking there has to be an easier way to get those damn clear headlights.........so i was thinking that maybe if i get a tiny drill bit and drill from the top of the orange reflector and the bottom of the orange reflector that maybe theyll just pop out?????????? i havent tried it yet but im just wondering if u guys think itll work?????

[QnzMostWanted]

ok heres the thing, u can release the yellow reflector without taking out the headlights, BUT how u gonna get the lens out? kinda hard to angle and break the orange out without making a mess and getting it out with teh lights on the car
