Sounds like a good idea to me...




Quick ? and i know im probably gunna get flamed for this one but has onyone thought about or attempted to color match them to the car as well as the rest of the headlight housing or do you think it would be too Corvette C6 looking....Just a thought


But on the other note Im goin Mulderize mine when i get a chance. The S is a DD so i have to find a day to do it.
It might look interesting for a "show" car that is going for a more wild type of styling. For cleanliness though you can't beat Mulderizing the corners. And to me it would be like a wannabe C6, kind of like when people see angel eyes on a non-BMW.

I might pick up a second set of headlights off a car being parted out and try it just for shits and giggles but for now Mulderized seems to be the way to go for me. Oh and definately would love to see a write up on how you did your tail lights Mulder the blacked out semi AP2 look is hella sick

There is no taillight post. Take em apart just like you do the headlights. Paint the corner reflector same color as the mulderized headlight diffusers and reassemble

^^^ Careful! Taking taillights apart are slightly more involved only because the clear plastic 1/2 of the assembly is less tolerant of 'separation pressure' applied when trying to peel the two halves apart. I've seen posts from numerous owners that cracked the plastic clear half at the near-90 degree 'corner'.

So while its 'just like the headlights'...um...no, not exactly. Tread with caution on taillights...

Just my 2 pennies...

Yes you must be a little more careful, but when I had mine apart I was surprised how thick the lens actually was. That said, another member following my directions cracked his during the separation process.
