Its really not that tough. You have to jack the car up just a little bit so you have enough room to work with. Underneath ther car, right buy the front tires there are two bolts that hold on what look like a flap. Remove those and the flap will fall open. Now you have access to the lenses from inside. since you wont be able to look at what you are doing, you have to reach your arm in there and find all three of the little bolts that hold the lens to the bumper. I dont remember what size the head of the bolts are, but the are pretty small, so it will take a couple tries with sockets to find one that fits. Remove the three bolts at the lens lifts right out. Thats about it, just repeat for the other side.

I've got pictures of that area and how to get to it on my alarm install page. Check out the section where it talks about mounting the siren and you'll have everything you need with pictures

You can do it from under like that but the way I did it and I think the easiest way is to just take the headlights out and you can see what your doing from the top.

I also just ordered clear corners from procarparts.com via Ebay. Beofre this all I heard about installing them was to take off the entire front bumper!
This way sounds better.

well i was gonna put up the pics but i realized the mi padre had taken the digi cam on a business trip so im gonna have to wait until about friday or saturday to get them on here.


Stangkilla--- i as well ordered my clear corners from procarparts.com, and about the bolts. i found it easier to take off the whole front left and right underbody. it was a total of 14 bolts(7left & 7 right) then a little work getting out the plastic cover. from there its just the basics, looking and seeing what to do. very easy. good luck!
