I sealed them up before I put them on. Put a thick bead of silicone around the lense as well as where the bulb goes in. Have had no moisture after doing this. My previous clear corners were ruined because of them leaking.

slid them in from underneath, the only problem is trying to slide the old ones out. About 1/8th of an inch sticks out too far on the sides of the lenses so it hits up against the seam where the bumper connects to the front fascia, ao that took a little manuvering ot get out.

No just take the headlight out. It's one bolt and then they slide to the left (or right) and pull out. It takes about 10 minutes each side to change, and I put a thin layer of silicone over the mounting surface for the bulb - never had moisture in there.

Like he said... pull the headlight out from the top... MUCH easier to change them that way.

Thanks for the tip... I'll do that to mine when it's out from under the cover for the winter!
