Heres a picture of someone else's clear, with the broken peice on mine circled, I am no where near my car right now (its in storage) so i dont know if this flange thing is needed, any info would be appreciated!!!

BTW my clears are the euro syle, ill get some pics up later tonite hopefully...

Only if it breaks the seal to the light would I be concerned.. I really dont even think you can see much of the bottom right corner... depends how bad it is I suppose.

FamousZ

I believe that part is needed or your gonna have a big gap between the light and the body..

sman

Crap, thats not what I wanted to hear...
Here they are, I guess im making the drive to where my car is at to see for myself tomorrow...




This last one show's it had nothing to do with the seal, thankfully, its just some kind of lip...

mxracerbrian

those lights look nice! should look pretty BA on your car

sman

Thx thats what i'm hoping, I gunna drive to the car today if I can get there, we just got a freak snow storm, just b4 we left for church until after we got out we got at least 3 in, road are terrible to say the least, I did 25ish all the way home... Atleast if it stays maybe we can finally get the sleds out!

I'm going over to my car after class today, and its kinda a drive, what tools do I need to take, to take this thing apart to change the corners out? Also is there anything I should look for since this thing has been sitting for a month and a half? Should I start it and let it run for a while?

EDIT: Didnt end up going today, roads were pretty bad, and had to erands to run for the rents.....
But please lmk any good advice for anything to do to it, since i am (hell or high water) going out there tomorrow.....

wratchet and a 10mm, and 6.5mm socket i believe it is...

sman

Thx, I got the lights in my truck now, and after class i'll swing by the house and get the tools. Any advice on anything else I should do, like start it up and let it run or anything. O and I never disconected the batt. I will prolly do that today but I want to make sure there is no code on the radio so when i hook the batt up it doesnt freak out on me, how do I check that? It has the monsoon system, if that makes a difference.

paarman97maro

Yeah, you dont need to disconnnect it when you put the lights in, but if its sitting you should take the battery out.. common sense, after you swap the lights so you can test them ... Its always nice to change the bulbs while youre there also... Theyll most likely burn out RIGHT after you swap the lenses haha.

sman

Yea, it has been sitting, so ill take it out before I leave. And thankfully the corners came with new bulbs so we will deff do that.

paarman97maro

Mine only came with the 2 side markers I think .. I need to change one of mine this spring.

sman

Mine came with the 2 running ones that were the amber color, then the 2 peanut bulbs, i guess for signals, but they were a much darker color, does that matter, will there be a noticalbe color diff once there in and on?

paarman97maro

The darker ones should look better. I got some light colored ones, and color burned off in minutes, so now I have one practically white light and one amber... thats why I need to change one.

I dunno if theyll mismatch in color. You could just be safe and stop at wal mart to pick up the bulbs for like $4

sman

Well, I stopped by after class today, to my dissapointment from anywhere 6 or 7 feet or closer you can tell that, that tab is broke. So I guess there going back.
