Will this method work for corner lenses as well?

Great job, Its about time i seen someone do that on this forum. I have told so many people how to do this even on this forum a few times, and after i tell them you put your headlight in the oven there like " no no thats crazy" but thats how you do it nice job....and for the person who asked yeas u can do this to a 98 jimmy or really any car for that matter that has some lense inside u wanna remove....just make sure u reaseal the light properly or its gonna get foggy inside from moisture

I'm thinking about using this method to take the marker lens out. But instead of removing it, maybe try tinting it and then putting it back in. How do you guys think it would look?

I tried to do the corners on my 99 last night. I have the corners with the fog lights, and apparently the lenses are super glued on. Also the lense itself is amber colored. The entire thing. Guess I'll have to sacrifice my fog lights and just get a pair of clear corners without the fog lights!

I thought I'd read it on here but maybe not. The oven bit works for headlight assy's, separate corners arent assembled the same way and have to be dremeled apart.

I actually got it apart using finger nail polish remover! Then realized the lense itself is amber colored all the way through! Oh well!

So I ordered a set of the clear corners. I cut a hike in the back of the empty side of the lense that matches the factory one. I have the 10000k HID fog lights so they look a million times better now, but they don't light up the road quite as well as the factory lense. They shine almost even with the headlights! I'll take a pic and post it

Hole* not hike
