Default Clear corners

Anybody got any pointers on how to make this install a little less painful than it looks like it's going to be? It's a 96, and it's the front corners.

It's not too bad really. Pull the 3 body plugs under the front bumper and remove the two tray looking deals to the right and left (held with 10mm bolts). The bolts take a while to get out because there are so many but again..it's easy. From there you will see how the existing lenses are bolted in. Simply undo their fasteners and swap the new ones in. Check the seals on the new one and maybe run some clear rtv in any questionable areas.

Mine were good to go but some have has issues I head. Good luck.

I've found it to be much much easier to just turn the headlight on, unplug the motor, turn lights back off so that the headlights still stay up. Remove the black plastic trim around the lights, reach down and unbolt the lights (7mm screws). Reverse for install. Only takes about 10 minutes or so that way.

Thanks guys. I took a look at it again after I posted last night and it doesn't seem like it'll be as bad as I thought. It didn't look hard so much, just annoying cuz I've got big hands. But, I won't be able to get it done today cuz of rain. Soon enough....I'll get some pics up when I'm done. Thanks again.
