One bad looking 4Runner Dude. I just got mine last week and pictures like yours were a big encouragement.

Thanks man, I appreciate it! :bigok:

The Burtman and Ebay ones are all the same. By bake we mean, putting them in the oven.

You can fix that problem pretty easily, as I am about too. Just bake your clear corners in the oven and open them up, then paint the inside black, and then reseal with black silicone. I experimented on an OEM corner the other day and it worked out quite well. I plan on doing the same to my clear corners tomorrow, I can't stand amber either.

why do you have to literally bake them to open them up?

 

[Sloan]

the amber corners are not that bad on the black, i used to hate them but they are growin on me.

 

[Fo_SheeZy]

To soften the glue that holds them together, they are impossible to get them apart if you don't.

Found some that come with black clear corners:

I just did my blinkers this weekend.... here is a pic.. I had to clear them first because the first try they hazed up real bad... I think Im gonna go get another can of Transparent black model paint and do another coat to make them a lil bit darker.

I also did the third brake light... I colored the screws with a sharpie b/c they stuck out like a sore thumb!

ha, that looks pretty awesome, mike!
what exactly did you use?
and could you take some pics with the turn signals and brake light shinin through?

 

[Fo_SheeZy]

Mike, looks good, but you should get some Hella Micro DE's to fill in that spot beside your signal.

Then get you some HID's for em'!

 

[mikehinthehouse]

Fo Sheezy , how are ya ?

I was wondering how you were making out with your buddies Paypal ? I tried to PM ya but your box is full .

Thanks

 

[Fo_SheeZy]

Well, I hate to back out on you but I might have to hold on to those headlights because the beam pattern in the black headlights are horrible. I'll have to use the center piece from my OEM headlights to solve the beam pattern..

 

[XJeepguy]

Yep ok np .

 

[gbennetto]

so when are you going to send me your grill and brush bar??? hehe

 

[Fo_SheeZy]

Yep ok np .

Yeah man, sorry about that. Wasn't expecting the beam pattern to be like that.

so when are you going to send me your grill and brush bar??? hehe

Haha well man, I sold the brush guard and I love the grille way to much! :bigok:

 

[XJeepguy]

Probably just as well for now anyways . I bought a new HU and 2 sets of Polk components and 2 big amps recently

Yeah man, sorry about that. Wasn't expecting the beam pattern to be like that.

 

[mikehinthehouse]
