Help! How do I take out my signal lights to replace them with clears.

I can't figure out how to get to the signal lights on my car so that I can replace them with my new clears. I have read the haynes manual and looked at the stickies and have found nothing. Please help!

It's too easy, take a flathead and pop out the outter sidemarker, then you will see a philips screw to take out. Take the bulb sockets out and put the clears in!

If I'm not mistaken, as I remember you need to pop the hood and remove the one phillips screw that holds the bracket on top of the corner lamp assembly first and then gently use a screwdriver to pry in between the corner and headlight to pop out the ball thta holds the front in place. The back part just has a tab that will slide forward to remove the assembly.

He is talking about the signaling corners not the headlight corners.

I thought of googling for it after I posted the thread. I figured it out. It was way easier that the tail lights, but nothing fits as well as OEM.

Damn! He clearly said signals and not corners. I need to lay off the Patron and Glenmorangie; especially during the work week. I wonder what else I may have screwed up at work this week???
