Tutorial on installing corner lights?

Wassup yall. I just ordered some new corner lights for my W124. They are grey/smoked corner lights. I was wondering if anyone knows any place I can get a tutorial on removing my stock amber corner lights and putting in the new grey/smoked corner lights. I am not sure if I need any special tools or anything. Anything would help!

Here's the corner lights:

Very simple, takes no special tools or more than 2 minute per side.
*Open the hood
*check from the inside where corner are
*there is the small plasic flap you can also find on your new once
*push it sideways and the corner pops out of the fendor
*pull off the wiring
*plug it into the new once
*insert the corner into the fendor
*watch for the small clips (on the side of the corner) to slide into the counter parts on the side of the headlights

READY
