Default is there any way to take clear cornors out without removing the f'in front end?

title is pretty clear. I can't get them out for the life of me. I already nicked up the paint some (you can't see it, behind the light) but it pisses me off. Is there any f'in way you can get them out this way!!!!!!????/ f'in GM people are idiots...the foam is in the way on the one side and the side of the body is in the way on the other side. I'm about to break these things or something in half.

Did you take the headlights out? Assuming you have a Camaro, that's the easiest way.

Pull the headlights out and you'll have alot of room to remove the corners.

Pull ot the bulbs, there is one nut that holds them on the bracket, then slide towards the middle.

Once you have the bolt out, slide them to the side. There's a tab on the back of the headlight that is holding it into the back panel there.

+1 on removing the headlights. I was in your position two days ago...goin crazy. Once I got the headlights out it was alot easier. Still had to force them a little because of the foam. Post pics when done!

Swapping corners is no fun.

Just did mine, the headlights were removed and I still had to cut away some of the foam support.

...more time consuming than anything

I never had to remove my headlights. Granted it took me some time the first time to get it, but everytime after that I could get the lens in and out in about 10 min. Just took me a little fanagling.

thanks for all the replies. Well, I have bigger problems now. The one clear is in on the passenger side, but the drivers bolt (holding the headlight into place) is stripped! On top of that, my fog lights don't want to turn on for anything.
