    After weeks of saying im gonna do it...............

    I finally did it. I installed my black housing corners today. It looks so much better than the euro clears I had on there. I took some pics as I was doing it so I could do a how-to write up on it since there isn't really a bonafide step by step guide to it, there will be once I get the pics up I should have the pics up tomorrow evening. For those of you who like the look of the depo corners but have heard the horror stories of fitment problems, fear no more, I will walk you through it, it's a piece of cake.

    Didn't have enough room for it with the Syracuse props. If you support our troops more than me though, I'd be shocked. I'm the biggest war monger ever

    Not enough room:disappointed: Im no war monger but im very much in support of our troops and I stay glued to the war coverage on tv and the net. It makes me feel so proud to be an american when I hear Battalion commanders take offense w/statements like "the troops are softening up the Republican Guard." to which he responded, "we're not softening them up, we killing them!"

    see post above, I got it back on topic While we're on the subject, I still have my hyperwhite Polarg bulbs in my corners I went to get some amber bulbs last night, but I couldn't find any amber 168 bulbs, but I did find some amber 194's, they are identical to the untrained eye, will they work?

    yes, very small, ive been using 194's and 168's interchangably for about a year now on like 10 diff. cars... no problems yet. I've NEVER heard of a problem for this.

    BTW, I just have to say, on your car you should def. go with euro clear or I guess tinted bumper signals cause Amber on that car wouldn't look good imo.

    Cool! I just put the bulbs in and it looks alright, but it's hella bright outside so I can't get the full effect yet. I'm so glad you said that about the bumper lenses cause I came to that same conclusion right after I got my car painted. I still have the oem amber bumper lenses and I put em on just to see how it looked cause I knew I was gonna get the jdm corners and I've got some amber jdm sidemarkers too so I figured the amber bumper lenses would look nice it looked like booty so im gonna keep my euro clear bumpers and tint them a little bit so they don't stand out so much

    I'll write it up in a bit, I just got back from the grocery store, but it'll be up tonight before I go to bed. Only problem is that the pics I took of the bracket, showing what parts to cut off, came out so blurry you can hardly tell what's what, so im just gonna include the pic i've already got, it should be good enough. This is very simple man, nothing to trip on, it's all about know what and where to cut
