I dunno if its possible on this car or not, but I did this on my dodge stratus. I took off the headlight, and removed the bulb on the corner, and I popped the orange reflector out so it was moving around in the housing. They just kinda clipped into place inside. I then got some thin wire cutters, or something sharp, and broke the orange reflector peice by piece into small peices. Then turn it upside down, and all the orange comes out. Then you have an OEM corner without the orange. Is that possible on the 2000 tiburon to do?

thanks for locating that post for me. If you have any questions andrew, ask and I'll see if I can answer.

The reflector is glued in. I made the mistake of trying to pry it off (after half of it was already broken off) and it ended up cracking the lens. I got another stock corner and cleared that one. Be careful and take your time.

So you can clear you own corners with out buying a whole new set, i am up for that, it can be done on a 2000 how about a 97??

they are not exactly the same reds.. the clear lens on the 1st gen have a weird wave to them.. any one own a 1st gen they know what i am talking about.. but the 2nd gen does not.. soo they are not the same but it should still work..

NO THEY WILL NOT Work!

RD1 reflectors are MOLDED on, not glued on
YOU WILL BREAK THEM IF YOU TRY!
