Smoked corners are pissin me off... So I'm tryin to get these smoked corners put in, but for the life of me, I can't get them in. When I was taking the stock lenses out I had to break one and almost broke the other. It's like the lenses are just a couple mm to long and wont pass the fender...Am I doing something wrong here? Has anyone else had the problem???

Angle them, and push on the side of the fender from the inside. too hard to describe but push from the inside on the connection of the fender to the bumper, it will push in a bit and give you enough space to pop the corners in. Once you figure out the trick, they are actually very easy to put in.

I have had 12 4th gens and i can say the first time it was a little complicated. After that I jacked the car up on ramps high enough so i could like sit up look at what i was doing instead of feeling around. After that it was all downhill. I did this on a friends car in about 35 min the last set i did. Also one other thing once you get them in get a hose or something and spray around the headlamp to see if water seeps inside. I learned the hardway to check them before getting the car back together
