Is it possible to remove the ember out of the corner lights from the 03 headlights making it clear?
i seen a couple of Solara around but idk if they are aftermarket or what-


I've heard of putting the lights in the oven for a few seconds so that the glue would soften to be able to open the headlights and so remove the unwanted shell leaving it completely clear -but for other cars not solara-

You can open the lens from heating the corners in the oven like you said, or you can just buy clear corner lights from ebay.

I heard opening the corners was really hard compared to the headlights... youre probably better off buying them off ebay. They are like $60 for both.

Blue txt wasnt a great idea, but yeah either DIY or buy them. If you got experience DIY is worth it.

I removed the reflectors from my light and it came out looking really well (i have a 99).

1) pop the hood, ther'll be a little screw atop the main headlight holding in a little tab coming off the corner light, unscrew it, its the only thing holding it in other than tension.
2) unplug the light, for obvious reasons
3) put your hand on the corner light, and pull straight forward out of its hole, mine took a lot of "convincing".
4) take the bulb out
5) this part is up to your discresion as to the temperature and time, i put mine in the oven for 2-3 minuets at 180-200 degrees.
6) just pull the front lens off, but dont touch the chrome in there, its really sensitive after being in the oven. In mine, the reflector had 2 small snaps holding it in, yours is different year, so i don know about yours, but i just took a thin thin thin flatblade screwdriver and popped it out.
7) Put some clear or white sealant around the edge, put the lens back on, let it cool, then reassemble and you're ready to go.
