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.

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

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...

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.....

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

 
Rep Power: 1088

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

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.
