Looks sweet! How hard was it? I remember seeing all kinds of threads where they cut the light and pull the amber out, you do the same process?

Clearing out your corners is a rather simple process known as "baking" in the import scene. You can either buy new clear corners or if you'd rather not spend money, you can simply take your stock lights out (including the casing/housing), put the entire thing in your oven (hence the term 'baking') and allow the heat to melt the adhesive on the housing of the light. You then pry the clear housing off of the light. You now have access to the inside of the light and can replace the bulb and/or take out the orange- tinted pieces out. Reseal the clear housing back on with silicone, let it dry/harden, and put the light back on your car. That's just one way of doing it.

I would never stick my head light into an oven, thats ricer talk.
The reflecter is only held on by a little bit of glue.
Pry it open and tap the reflector loose.
Here is a how to...
