Clear Corner installation

I read in "Shop talk" how to put clear corners in a 4 gen maxima, and I'm just making sure you still pry out the entire orange lens unit with a flat headed screw driver. Also, I looked in the How to thread and the links are not working, so I'm asking here for full instructions so i don't screw up....

Yep, thats about all there is to it... I would suggest wrapping the screwdriver tip in a towel so you dont mess up or scratch anything....

I read to use a butter knife with a blunt edge, aka non pointy. They pop right out.

Make sure you put the knife/screwdriver on the more rounded fatter part and not the pointy one... and the back ones are alot harder to take so dont be scared to use some force on those.

it wasn't a problem. I just wanted to make sure that i was putting necessary force on the original lenses...when I tried the first time, I just wanted to make sure that it was supposed to take some force to get out. The entire operation for both sides took 10 minutes total...i just ordered the rear markers...
