Couldn't Wait Until Saturday

I got bored last night and since Saturday is going to be mostly a fluid swapping meet for my car, I thought I would do a few of my mods.

After work I installed my clear corners, installed my Rotary 'accents' and fixed my leaking taillight. Here are the quick details followed by pics

Taillight - I took it off, re-siliconed the gasket to the tailight and dried the taillight. I then added a thick layer of silicone on the outside of the gasket all along the points where it makes contact to the car. I did this to thicken up the gasket since I don't really want to go to Mazda and buy the thicker gasket. Finally, I drilled two small holes in the taillight to let water escape in the future incase my 'ghetto' gasket does not hold.

Clear Corners - This was a very easy install. I removed the reflectors the day before from inside the clear corners. From pictures I have seen this improves the look IMO. I included orange bulbs to make it look legal at night. The pictures attached doesn't really show how orange it does look at night.

Accents - The two sided tape made the rear accent hold in place perfectly. The front accent didn't seem to have enough tape, so I might redo it. I am not happy with where it is sitting right now. Sidenote - Do not take off your work gloves when fidling with the front accent as it can slice open fingers easy (like two of mine)

Have a look see. I cute the brown wire (fog lights) capped one end (useless end), and tapped it into the ACC wire, using a tap connector. Done!!
