How to install clear/smoked corner lights?
I just put my new grill in and it looks great, but I was just wondering what is the easiest way to change the front corner lights?

Open the hood.
Behind each corner light...there will be a clip that holds it in place very much the same thing if you look at the smoked ones. Push that clip down and you should be able to remove it. It might be a little rough since OEM lights fit nice and tight but it should be okay.
When installed the new ones, hold the clip down and make sure when you push it in..the clip snaps onto the body or else it'll pop right out when you drive. I hope this was enough information, I don't see how else to explain it. lol

yea it wasnt that hard. The car looks really good with the new grill and lights. The only complaint I had was that the lights were not meant for blinkers. I got the lights from importvision. The only thing I need to do now is to get the car lowered.

what do u mean they were not meant for blinkers? did they not come with amber 2 filament blubs? if they didnt run down to the stealership and get a bulb for each side. your stock ones were clear. you need to convert to yellow or amber.

94 E420, yeah...the bulbs IV provides are useless. If you put them on your car...your lighting system will go insane. Your best bet is to just go to the auto store and get the Sylvania 7528 (P21/5W) turn signal bulbs but for European Lamps.
Freddie, what pictures are you talking about?

yea thats what I planned on doing. I will probably get the amber colored bulbs. I cant believe how much it change the look of the front end getting the grill and lights.

my personal suggestion is if you still have the stock YELLOW driving lights you get YELLOW turn indicators so they match nicely. if you have done an hid convert then its looks alright if you have amber corners.
