I can't get my clear corners out!!! Hidden screws??
I can't find an FAQ on changing clear corner bulbs, so I used the directions from a post on making the clear corners brighter. It says the only screw that needs to come out is the visible one that attaches to the headlight. But for the love of god, I can't get the housing out! It seems like there's something holding the housing in place on the bottom (where the corner meets the headlight). I don't want to yank too hard and break something, so here I am. Tricks? Tips?

Jesus .... well the little snapper that is supposed to detach wit the screwdriver DID NOT work as advertised. On the driver's side, it broke off. On the passenger side, it was so stubborn that it cracked the housing of the corner ... and never detached. I am really ****ed off. So ****ed off I just put it all back together without changing the bulbs. What a pain in my ****.

yeah that stupid little nub that's on the bottom corner of the housing stumped me before too. Just unscrew the top screw on the corner light housing, and look down the crack inbetween the headlight and the corner. There's a little joint where you can slide in the tip a long flat screwdriver -- just twist the screwdriver to pop the joint out of the socket, and voila, it's out.

Now THAT actually worked, even though I've already broken stuff. I've found a clearance light assembly on NissanPartsPro.com for $33,which sounds like one hell of a good price. Anyone know anything cheaper?
