dam lights

man i dont even no how these stupid things fell off? mayb someone stole them from me or mayb i was drivin and somehow fell off. My car had me a bad day yesterday. NOT ONLY losing these lights, my cars transmission failed around 3rd gear when i was on the freeway. After passing 65mph i tried to speed up more and the engine just revved all the way up. I drove 30 minutes back home going 50mph on the freeway while every1 passed by me -.-. BECAUSE OF this crap it ruined my date which i was suppose to go afterwards. I'm overhauling the transmission today. I brought it to the shop already and its going to cost me $1600 to overhaul and another $25-$30 to buy a new set of corner lights.

Yeah, always make sure that the clip is locked into place before you start driving off. I've had this happen to me once but I simply put on my amber ones back on until I bought another set.

the trick witht he corners lights and I have done this with all of nies, is to take the metal spring tab piece, and move it over the plastic tab, so it sits on top of the plastic tab, pushing the locking plastic parts out more locking them in better. sure it is more difficult to remove them, but I have never had one light fall off ever.

I have been through several different corner lights, (mainly beause I change my mind and buy different ones all the time...)

First set were the normal frosted clears, never came off. then I changed to the dark smoked ones, then to the crystal clears, and now tot he lightly smoked frosted ones.

None of them ever fell off because I made sure they were snug by modifying the clips.
