Clear Corner Install Question (Answered)

I just received my new clear corner markers and I'm not sure how to install them. I searched but only saw info on the side blinker indicators. The corner markers on most cars I've seen can be pried right out, but that doesn't seem to be the case with the Mini. Do I have to remove the trim? Any help would be appreciated

I figured it out... what a PITA! They are held on by theses tiny little nuts. I took pics of the install. I'll do a write-up if anyone is interested.

Here's the final with the clear corners, clear/chrome fins, and new 17s

Yeah man, do a write up...I was thinking of picking up a set myself and was wondering if there was some sort of trick to the install. BTW, nice ride!

I did mine about a month ago and th front bumper is much easier than the back....


I recomend just taking off the bumpers...it's really is easest that way....I did mine clear and my girl friends smoked...it took the same amount of time to take the bumper off and switch them as it did to fuss with them on the car...LOL

Now all you need is the silver bulbs for the front blinkers

I just posted a how-to for this project - https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=32697

I purchased the lights from SABERSPORT on ebay... $63.00 for the set plus $9.95 shipping.
