Installing Clear Corners? Help!
I just purchased some Depo clear corners for $30 total including shipping, which I thought was a pretty good deal... Unfortunately, I am a mechanical novice, and I don't know if I can handle installing them myself. I know there is some kind of spring clip, and I know that I have to unlatch that, push from the inside and pull from the outside. I searched on the topic and didn't really find anything that was too helpful. I just wanted to know how you guys did it? Thanks.

Stick your hand in around behind the OE corner and feel around for a grey plastic clip, now depending on the side, move the clip to one side and it should "pop" out.

I felt the exact same way. I was just scared but there is nothing to be scared of. Just reach in from the engine bay, push on the clip, and push out. the connection is the same for the new corner lights

They don't fu**** fit. My OEM corners have a three prong connection and the new clears have two prongs. They totally don't fit. WTF? Is there something that I am missing here? Do I have different lights from the rest of you guys?
