i just did this a few weeks ago. all you have to do is:
-disconnect high and low beams
-remove the 10mm bolt to remove the headlights
-pop off the 5 or 7? plastic rivets that hold on the fascia
-disconnect the wires from the corner lights
-remove the 3 7mm bolts that hold on the corners.
install is the opposite. hope this helps! if it doesn't, do a search on this board, there are better tutorials out there.

hey man, it sucks, some people say pull the headlights and it only takes minutes. I on the other hand like most went from the bottom and it takes a lot of effort. From the bottom, get all the plastic plates (or whatever to call them) out of the way and u can get a ratchet up there...from what i recall, there is 2 bolts. Once they're out, u can pull really hard and take a chance at scraping the front bumper, if it digs in the corner wrong it will. or take ur time and try and pull out the headlight. if u just bearly file down the corner on the new ones, bc it isn't seen once they're in, they will slide in much easier.
good luck.
good luck.

follow the instructions from the link above... members here have used it and say its pretty easy... i did mine from the bottom...what a pain in the ***
Here's a tip... (not about install though) some clear corners have a problem with water getting in them so it would be a good idea to put some clear RVT sealant around them... you could also drill some small holes on the bottom of the lenses so water can drain out incase you do get this problem.
Not all clear corners have this problem though... but i would rather do it to be safe. and it would be better to do it before u put them on than to have to take 'em off later if the problem occurs

I just installed mine. Take the headlights out. It's not hard.
