ok.. looks like im clearing the corners this weekend and was wondering if anyone knew if the non-amber looking lights were available at Walmart... seeing as my mum works at wallyworld and her best friend there does the stocking in the mini mechanic shop thing they have. Just to make sure i have it right.. i need 2 amber-lighting bulbs 194s if i remember right and a tube of silicon? any polish for the chrome/shiny stuff behind the lights? (sorry for lack of good terms in this one, have had no sleep and im goin out of my mind )

well, just don't touch the chrome part and you'll be alright, I heard of people stripping the chrome off by trying to clean it, If any thing, just use a dry cloth.

i have to do something with the chrome because when the guy drilled for the LEDs in the headlights he never did anything about getting rid of the debris from the drilling.. so its all dusty lookin in one of the compartments..

well.. i started clearing my corners today... and to say the least.. my cars gonna be half cleared for a couple days ... took forever to do the one.. theres silicone everywhere and i have a million wonderful blisters haha... the oven trick is pretty awesome and i wish i remembered to do it at the very beginning it would prolly have saved me 1/2 the time..

fill the gap completly where it connects together, and then once its all together, run a bead along the outside and wipe it down with your finger. Thats what i did anyways, but I used clear silicone.

use a ton a silicone, its cheap. I wasted more from the stuff that squeezed out than i actually used. As for the condensation, it might just be the type of silicone you used. The first time i had my lights apart and back together, moisture kept getting in the lights b\c as the silicone dried it pulled in moisture and it was hot outside. i just kept the black covers off the back of the lights for about a week and problem solved. Now the second time i did it (to put led's in) there was no moisture build up at all.
And to polish the chrome, i used Artco hood and windsheild polish and a terry cloth. Makes it shine like crazy.

If you reheat the silicone when putting it back together you should not need to use any silicone. I have never had any kind of condensation. This is not a hard project, but you guys make it painful sometimes.

You could mesh the front grill. Change you gauges, and lighting. Belive it or not you could get a set of racing style rims. Where are those pics? Then we could really let you know something. I didn't go all the way through this thread, but do you have an aftermarket system already? That's just something else you could do. Install some more electronics, crap like that.
