I bought some euro clear corner lenses and I am trying to find a way to take out the stock yellow ones. Is there anybody who could tell me how to install clear corners. any help would be great.

I did them from under the car. Take off whats needed from under the car -the plastic guards- then remove the the clear corneres. It may be easier to remove them then to install them. Also as many have said put a small bead of clear rtv around the clear corners so no water will get in.

I've done it both ways- from the bottom on my first set, from the top on my second set. Definitely easier from the top. Just remove the headlight.

Maybe a more complete answer is what you were asking for.

1) Remove the 5 plastic connectors holding the front fascia to the bumper
support. This will allow the front fascia to bend enough to pull the headlights
out without scratching any paint.

2) Next remove the headlights. Unplug electrical connections and all bolts.

3) Remove current yellow/orange lights from the top and replace
with clearcorners. I would suggest you seal the new lights with some silcone around the joints to prevent leakage.

4) Reassemble.

Pretty easy if you do them from the top.
