Alright. Clearing the corners.

I know, I should abuse the search button. I've read about it, blah blah. I know what to do, it's just doing it is the problem. I'm a completely ignorant person when it comes to cars, etc.

I don't even know how to take the light socket thing out of the vehicle to disassemble it. Haha, Should I even attempt it? If so, what's the way to do this?

I don't know if you should attempt to clear corners if you can't remove the socket from the back of the headlight assembly.

There's two sliding things that hold it in place that you lift up. Then you twist the two outer bulbs out of the assembly and disconnect the connection that powers the two inner ones.

Then you have to remove the front clear plastic from the assmebly with a combination of heat, knife/screwdriver and patience. Then the little piece pops of the turn signal area.

Actually, they can be white on the corners, as long as your signals are amber.

I use Pilot Amber Chromes. Look chrome when off, light up amber.

Techncally it's illegal to clear your corners anywhere since it's required you have a side reflector in the headlight. It's whether they'll actually enforce it, which 99% of the time they probably won't. Mine has passed state inspection a couple times without the corner reflector.

Just take some reflectors off a bicycle and stick them on your car when inspection time comes around

Im in MA and i was thinkin bout clearing mine. is it just when you go for an inspection they give you a hard time or do cops make a big deal about it too? If its just at inspection im not worried about it. but if cops are gunna be stopping me for it im not sure i wanna do it.

I highly doubt you'll have any problems with a cop noticing and pulling you over. It's only when they're actually looking for it during inspection.

Inspection places are all different. The last one I went to was a joke. They spent 5 minutes on it.
