10. pull off amber corners
20. screw off bulb
30. screw bulb on clears corners
40. pop clears corners on
45. inspect
99. route
note: switching out bulbs (amber or clear) is up to you

as a manufacturing engineer, i create procedures/SOE's/OMS's/work instructions on a daily basis. i could be more detailed but im not getting paid.

Its not a big deal they just pop out. My friend just used a key to help him self pop out the corners. Maybe someone can give better instructions

Exactly. The side markers are fairly easy to pop off.

If you cant change the clear corners on your coupe then you should probably never work on it at all......changing the clear corners took me about 10 seconds on each side......just grab and pull out.....then remove the bulb.....its pretty easy

at first it seems like they wont go but if u pull the right side hard enough (in wheel well) then it will just snap out. takes like a couple seconds. dont worry they wont break off or something just pull.

Word.

It would help if you took it to a shop, or if you had access to a lift and some air tools.

I heard you have to use a small amount of plastic explosive, get it behind the stock corner lenses and have a controlled explosion. Supposedly they "pop" right out.

Maybe he just had a manicure and doesn't want to break a nail j/k

Seriously though it is a very simple job, and should only take a couple minutes. As JDM 350GT said you don't even need tools to do the clear corner changeout.
