    Default How to remove Corner Lenses?

    Do I need to remove the front plastic grill piece by the headlights? Or just the screw in the back and what appears to be a screw at the top of the lens? Going to be installing smoked corner's soon..

    you do it all from under the hood. theres 2 screws pointing to the front and one on the side. A magnetic phillips is a bonus for reinstallation.

    Could you tell me what brand you got, where you got them and how much you paid? I'm looking but I'm not turning up anything good...
    Thanks!

    Don't have them yet.. Got them off Ebay from a guy shipped from the U.K., (cpk1997, ebay ID), I assume their pretty good quality. They cost about $70 with shipping for smoked corners and sidemarkers.

    There are two ways to take the side markers out. You can remove the grill and headlights to gain easy access to all 3 screws that hold the side markers in place. Or you could leave the headlights in and remove all the screws from under the hood as Jeff said.

    From my experience the easier of the two is to remove the grille and headlights. It's not that tough to remove them. And may take less time because you have easier access to the side makers. Do you have a Bentley manual?

    Also I like the one from Abraham's Motosport. Wish I would have known about them before I purchased mine off eBay...

    Yes, I have a Bentley, but it's not that clear on removal.. Anyway, I think I'll remove the grill/headlights, as per your suggestion... Thanks...

    On reinstall, you will probably want to forgoe screwing it back into the side; just rely on the screws into the headlamp. That makes for easier removal and work in the future.
