When I installed mine i just took out the front headlights. Since they sit right above the turn signals without anything really between them its all the access you need.

its better to take off the headlight. i had to wrestle them out of there. that was kinda tough. have you put a ny rtv silicon on the edge? where the clear meets the back you should they will leak

I just installed my clear corners last weekend. And trust me, it's definitely easier to install them from the top. You may have trouble sliding the headlights out because it's a tight fit. But it's still easier then going from the bottom. Patience is the key!

The headlights arent "that" big of a problem tho. Re-install is going to require more patience so you 1) dont scratch your paint and 2) get the rubber seal placed correctly.
And yes, its MUCHO easier to do this from up top. Although I will say bulb replacement was a sinch from below.

I went from the top. 1 10 mm bolt. Take headlight out. Be careful not to scratch the paint. You will then have direct access to turn signals. Install mine in like 20 minutes.
