I don't have this film on my corner lenses. Are you sure it's a film or could it possibly be just dirty. You could replace them with the 97-99 corners. They are quite a bit clearer than the 95-96 just like the headlight assemblies.

I actually forgot to post the meat of my problem, I need to know how to get the corner lens out. I found one screw and one little clip, but the bottom right corner still won't come out. Any help with this issue would also be greatly appreciated.

you can take out the bulb without removing the lense

you have to use both hands and fit them into that little corner, but its better than breaking the lense by yanking too hard.

The problem is not with the bulb, I've already replaced the bulb. The bulbs are hyperwhite, but the lens is making it appear more dull white.. which is bad, so I need to get out the lens itself.

Re: Re: you can take out the bulb without removing the lense

okay.. there is a yellow film inside of the lense on the 95-99 corners.. no matter the 95-96 or the 97-99.. i know because i have tried em both.. "hyperwhite bulbs" are only truly hyperwhite when they are on there 27W filament..

all you need to do to get the hyperwhite brightness you want from them is the corner "rewire." But you can do it very easily.. all you do is rip off the higher of the two little nubs on the side of the bulb stem, and place the bulb in the socket backwards.. the little nub slides in and presses down and twists

to get the corner lense off there is a clip behind it that is tricky to get out.. i gave up after 15 minutes of prying and broke the clip off.. the screw up top holds my corner in and has for a year and a half.. it will work fine..
