Drill a couple small holes in the bottom of each one so they won't turn into fish tanks.

When I tried silicone it melted from the bulb being so hot. It has worked for some though.

Someone posted some install instructions here a few weeks ago and I used them. Worked great. I can swap headlights in like 10 minutes now. Once the headlights are out, its very easy to get to the corners.

I tried going from the bottom first, what a PITA. That made me look for a how-to

Ya, I learned how to take the headlights out when I did the smoked mod. With them out, it makes is much easier to get to the foglighs also.

Haha yeah the very first time I got clear corners it took me a couple hours (mainly trying to avoid scratches). 2 sets later I'm a pro.

There is only one nut holding the headlight in place. Remove it and you have more than enough access.
