Clear Side-marker Lights

This is one of my rice-boy mods, mind you, this will not make your car a whole lot faster.  But it will make you car somewhat different from most of the DSMs out there.  This mod was performed on a 1990 Eagle Talon Tsi.

 

Tools Needed

Hairdryer
Utility knife
Silicone
Flathead screwdriver

  3. Position the lens so that the rubber stripping is facing downwards and the orange lens is facing you.
  4. Proceed to warm up the glue holding the lens together to loosen it.
  5. Clear Side Marker 3.jpg (40438 bytes)Use the utility knife to cut away at the glue shown here circled in red, and pry the the lens apart.        
  6. Be careful because if you break the lens it's $65.00 at the dealership.
  7. Pry the lens apart until you can reach inside with the needle nose pliers and remove the orange lens from inside.
  8. Once it is removed press the lens back together and silicone the opened end of the lens.
  9. Let the silicone dry and replace back into the car.
  10. Here is what the lens should look like after the mod.
