Don't just pop it out with a screw driver. You will damages the len/bumper. If you look at the clear len before you remove your old len then you would understand how the len designed. Follow pic instruction.

2009 clk-350
Thanks for the reply everyone! Will try it out. Did the same thing for my e-class but was a little gun shy about this one since I didn't see anything online about install instructions.

I just did Klinh's way to put in my clear corners... no screwdriver necessary, just use a little english to push the light towards the front of the car and the it popped out easily.

I bought not just the clear corner but all the (i dont know how to name it
) plastic thing that doesn't have the corner light. But i don't know how to install them
? Is it complicated? Do I have to remove the front bumper or i can do it with a screwdirver?
I would also appreciate you help guys.

I don't know the answer to this question but allow me to use my common senses and try to explain. Bumper strip in most cars is nothing more then just for cosmetic except for those cars that have the parktronic options. It does not make sense to me that Mercedes would designed bumper strips on the front and rear bumper to be remove from the inside of the bumper when the rest of the strips like doors, fenders, rear panels can be remove from the out of the car !!!!!!!!
On many car like BMW (I owned E46 M3) the bumper strip is also used to cover up the bolts that hold the bumper to the chassis and those strip just pull right off from the out side of the bumper. Coin said that his bumper strip were off when his bumper were removed. This can only explain that the strip was removed before the bumper can be remove because the bolts. On my Clk 430, the bumper strip front and rear just pop right off when pull on it and you can see the bumper mounting bolts. On 2006 models Clk 500, Mercedes changed the design bumper strip and made it a non-removeable. It now a one piece unit with the bumper. This explained to why they moved the bumper mounting bolt down low by the foglight. You can see there's a opening taps on both side of the foglight all 2006-2009 Clk 500 and Clk 63.
