t44 Euro corner reflectors (take 2)

[Cody Forbes]

I **PREFER** the orange, lol! I know I'm a minority on that one, but I HATE the way the clear ones look. It's not a Civic after all.

I was thinking about cutting up the DOT light, just hadn't gotten that deep into it quite yet as last I looked I decided it would be alot of work. 'Course at that time I was thinking about buying a new euro reflector for $25-50, so now the DOT cutting idea seems a ton easier to do ;-)

I'll keep you guys posted on that effort.
