A couple of quick pic's of the clear corners with the amber bulbs on the '08. The amber bulb doesn't showup as much as I expected. Stealth bulbs are on order from XenonMods.

It's a simple install. I removed the plastic belly pan at the front bumper (8 hex screws) to get full access to each side. The lens snaps in/out at the rear; it's a little tough to get the clips to release so I ended up using pliars to compress the clips.
It's a subtle change but I think it cleans up the look of the front.

It's very tight and hard to get a good grip, I used some needle nose to squeeze it , it eventually snapped out.

I agree they're tight. I was afraid of breaking the clips but a strong squeeze with pliars and they eventually released. The clips are stronger than you might think, so really "bear down" and they will come loose.

My issue is that there is not enough room to get my hand with pliers onto the clips? The only other option is I will try to remove the front portion of my front fender well to see if I can access the light from the back rather then underneath.

I just got done doing mine. It was a pain to get the clip behind the marker so they would come out. I used a smaller flat head screw driver to help squeeze the clips and push the marker out.
Getting to the back of the markers was pretty easy. I just turned the wheels inward on the side you are working on and popped the two clips out of the wheel well. You can then pull open the wheel well and access the rear of the marker.
Pay no attention to my unwashed car.
The bottom clip is underneath.
Here's another picture of the clear markers.
