Smile Replacing Side Bumper Lenses

Simple Question I"m sure, but what's the most effective way of replacing the factory orange bumper lenses with the clear ones I have?

Grab them at the edge of the fender well and pull. They snap right out. Then you twist the bulb unit out of the housing and install the clear corners. It is REALLY easy.

change them one at a time, and if u start on the left one turn the wheels all the way to the right. then get ur flathead out and pop out the tabs in the inner wheel well. then there are two philip screws above the wheel well, so unscrew those. then get underneath the front bumper and remove the bolts there too. then u can just bend the inner wheel well, thus exposing the bolt to the clear corner.

UM...You dont need to go thru all of that...there is no bolt for the clear corner...you can litterally just grab the end near the wheel well...and PULL..and it pops right out....talk about doing extra work

I just did it a couple of days ago, and it doesn't have any bolts. We all have sedans here, hence we are in the sedan forums. I have an 06, but if you look at the sigs of other users that posted here, they have 03's also, and didn't have to go through all that work.
