Alright! Thanks! So would I put em on by taking the head lights off first or going from underneath the car?

Take the headlight out. Going from underneath is a real PITA.

I think most people would use a clear silicone.. any auto parts place would have it... run a thin layer all the way around the seams of the lense to insure that it is sealed... wait for it to dry then install this will prevent them from fogging up or holding water and all that nasty problems which make people replace their clear corners 4 or 5 times

I've found removing the headlight assembly to work best, this might help https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...+CLEAR+CORNERS .
