Re: How to make amber corners clear?
Buy $5 in sandpaper, buy $15 worth of clear lexan, buy $7 in epoxy or glue, $3 in amber bulbs so you are leagal, and spend $15 on another stock light that you screwed up trying to remove the amber lens or spend $30-35 on the correct ones that will function properly, fit properly, and look right.
Tough choice...... The reason people used to make em is you couldn't buy em for an f-body foo a long time, now you can and quite cheaply. But hey, if you want to make em....
The alternative is to get some real strong window and glass cleaner spray it on and scrub the lens really hard, repeat until they are clear. It's the cheapest way out but takes alot of hard work. Don't get discouraged with this method, just keep working at it.

where can i get some of this glass cleaner stuff? whats the name and what all is needed to make them clear?

Moral of the story, don't believe everything on the internet. I'm sorry, but I figured you to be wiser than to believe that one. Please, wait till you have the money to buy some and save yourself alot of problems. If you are that much on a budget you can get some great appearance mods out of selling that S-trim, and you can buy more Chicken McNuggets too.

If you bake them and peel them apart there is a 95% chance you will crack them. They are brittle already and then when you heat them they get even weaker. Just shed the $30 , lol---

I *think* the procedure is bake it at like 180* in the oven and keep checking to make sure you don't melt plastic all over your oven.
then take them out, then carefully peal the lens off being careful not to crack it.
then re glue it back later.
or just log onto ebay and get a set for $35 shipped.
