Clear corners installed

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!

I just installed my clear corners ... not a big deal for most but sad to say I have zip mechanical skills but since I've been getting mods, I wanted to at least do this myself to sort of feel like I have contributed. So here's a pic of the clears. I left in the amber bulb (although they came with white) and managed to break one pin which I got replaced at mazda. Sorry for the poor quality of the image.

Could be chips. I have some.

Yeah clear corners are sweet! I think if I had BB I would have smoked my stock corners.

Yep, very busy. A lot of stuff has fallen into place.

Thanks for mentioning the wax. I'll give the car a C.S.I. tomorrow and eventually post a decent full car image. Somebody mentioned stone chips? When I saw it yesterday, that's what I thought it was but checked and it was wax and just didn't fully clean it yet.

We all knew it was wax!



And...............oh BTW.......the "done" with modding will last about two weeks if you're lucky!

Great job. You've given me the inspiration to *maybe* try that myself also!

BTW, I used to live up off of Trafalgar in Oakville for a while. I do miss TO.

Cheers!

MrCairo, I have to be the most unskilled car person on this forum! And I've had my share of mods installed by others and am running with the pack. But I felt like I had to install the clear corners myself ... otherwise, no respect for myself. All these mods and I did nothing (but pay for them). So if you just follow the installation instructions on this site, you can do it in no time. Simplest mod I've ever done (haha, the only one I've ever done) aside from decals.
