Clear corner installation While pulling my orange turn signals out i really had to use force to almost bend and pull them out, same with putting the clear ones in...i was wondering is that normal or is there something you can do so they slide right in and out...because it seems really tight in there. i almost broke the signals!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Clear corner installation When I did mine I took them outfrom the bottom but I trimmed the black styrofoam from the are around the light.
If you look at it from directly under thecar you can see that the foam kinda makes an "L" shape and is almost butted up against the light housing. I just took an exacto knife and cut the "L"" extension by the light off and pried it out with a screw driver.
The lights sid right out this way.
The whole install took about 15 minutes

I had the same problen you had, then it just came out easily. Also did you remove all the screws off the lens when you tried to take them out ?
