If anyone is interested in the DIY, let me know, I just finished mine today but I didnt take pics :roll:

It's preety simple but you have to be patient, and this is not like the other DIY where you stick shit into a oven and let it roast smile.gif

Alright, I dont have pictures because im lazy, and didn't think I would write about it here.

tricky but if you take
your time it works just fine. First you have to get
the right tools, long needle nose pliers, small
hammer, flat head screwdriver, and a coat hanger or
something stong and bendable. Second you have to take
off both corner lights. Using the flat head screw
driver you angle it in through the bulb hole and get
as much of the reflector as you can. Next take the
hammer and start tapping away at the reflector until
it cracks, but don't worry there is a space between
the reflector and the out side plastic so you won't
damage the corner light. Do this in as many places as
you can. Peices will start to fall out and some you
will have to pry out with your fingers or the hanger,
you will have to bend the hanger to fit in the corner
light and make a small hook at the end for prying.
Last use the needle nose pliers to break up the pieces
inside of the corner light small enough so they will
fall out the bulb hole. Worsest case scenrio if the is
a small amount of reflector left in the light you
can't get to drill a small hole from the back side of
the corner light and use a small nail and tap it with
the hammer to break it up and pry it out. To cover the
hole use either some good electrical tape make sure
surface is clean and dry and it will keep out and
water or dust, or use plastic weld to fill the hole.
There is risk involved but you could save yourself
75.00 to 100.00 if done right. At the very least
you'll will have to order clear corners anyways and
that will replace entire corner light anyways. So
really you have nothing to lose.
