Re: How to install clear corner lenses? Unplug your headlight bulbs. Do not remove bulbs from housing.
Now look on the back of the headlight housing. Centered on the back is a single 10mm bolt.
Remove it.
Now slide your headlight housing towards the nose of the car.
It will be loose from the car now. Remove it from car.
*If you feel it is coming out too tight, remove the 5 or 6 push pins that hold the top of the bumper cover down. They are right under the leading edge of the hood, in front of the airbox. This will give the nose a little flex if you need more room. Anyway you do it, it isn't hard, but you just need to move carefully so as not to scratch paint.
Now with the headlights out, you can look right down at the top of the corner lights. There is lots of room to work, and since you are above the lights, you are not pelting your eyeballs with dirt.
This is the way to change a corner bulb, or the whole lens. Do both sides like this and put everything back in reverse order.
It took me 20 minutes to change both corners this way, start to finish. I spent 20 min trying to do it from the bottom and didn't get anything done.
Good luck
