Clear corners installation

Is there anything to it? I just got mine from a guy around here who didnt install them but no instructions. Anything I should know, looks pretty straight forward. Thanks.

It's a pain. You have to be careful about it. The new lights may fog up, and not look so good with out the bulbs on. Good Luck

just go from the bottom of the car. remove the plastic trims at the bottom of each side of the corner and you'll be able to replace the lens. Shouldn't take no more than 10 min to do.

Yeah, that's the technique I used. But it took me longer than 10 minutes (on each side). There's a particular angle at which each light must go in out. And even at the correct angle of attack it is tight! Good luck.

Oh yeah, some lights leak (mine do)- mostly from water being forced in while washing. You could drill a small hole for drainage (I haven't done this yet) or try to seal them.

it's really simple. Look under the front end of the car. There are bolts that hold the plastic pieces there. Undo those bolts and remove the plastic pieces. If you look up into the hole, you'll see the back of the turn signal lenses. I think they are 7mm bolts, might be 8mm. Take those off, take the lights off, and replace. Put everything back. You may have to take the air dam off, but you might not. But it's not that difficult and there's really no way you can mess anything up.
