Behind your headlights there is a lever you can pull up on to release your headlight assemblies (1 on each side). Once you remove the headlights you have gained access to the screws that hold the seperate turn signal assemblies in. Just unscrew those, pop the new corners in, and reverse the whole process. Really easy to do. If you need help email me. (see profile).

I don't know about your truck but I just removed the top screw that held in the corner and pulled it out, thats it. I never messed with the headlight.

Do the clear corners blink clear? Or is there an orange bulb in there?

rtkilla is right. Just remove the screw and slide the factory corners out. It might take alot of force to get them to slide out so be careful.

Here is a picture of the screw you need to pull out. The Corner slides right out easy.

Thumbs up

Clear corners are the way to go, I also went with the super whites in the corners, headlights, and the fogs. They do blink orange but they apear blue when off and match the headlights great.

Sweet. RTKILLA, where'd you get yours?
Wondering if you can make your blinkers different colors: Red, Blue, Green...? (Thinking Blue for my silver truck... hmm...)

The only issue I can see with changing colors is that the DPS officers won't like it. I know people who've been cited for just having clear corners even though the bulb remained amber.

If you change it, you might make it stand out more...and I kind of like NOT being noticed by law enforcement.

However, the clear corners do look great.

The 01 models do have a little orange section on the corners that these corners do not have so there different.

I got mine from the online store here. They only thing that I don't like about them is that the clear plastics don't match exactly, but you can't tell unless your real close to them.

How can a cop tell if you changed to clear corners when the 01 comes stock w/them? Most people who don't have Lightnings will not be able to tell the difference b/t the models.
