I also got the clear rear marker lights - looks like I have to remove the rear bumper cover ? ! ? ! Any installation sugestions would be greatly appreciated !

As for the source of my clear reflectors, I got the rear reflectors from a private party through the forums.
Also, I am using red LEDs for lighting.

RE: Clear corner lenses
Didn't think of that GEAUX05GT
When I installed the rears I just took out 2 screws from the rear wheel splash guard and then pushed UP on the bottom of the rear bumper cover while pulling outward on the top to pull it away from the body of the car. Then it was quick and easy to push in on the retaining clip on the leading edge of the corner lense, twist out the bulb and reverse the steps.
ONE THING I DID NOTICE: The FRONT corners fit snug and look great. The larger bulb fits snug but the smaller bulb is rotated in properly yet still is a bit loose. Iknow the oem's did seat nice and tight ! Not sure if it is a manufacturing difference with the new pieces or if I poss overlooked something. Havent gone back out and looked hard for the solution; but, will have to do it soon before I start to take on some condensation.

Nice pics mlcrycc! The use of a cloth to cover the screwdriver is a smart idea. I didn't think of it and I was paranoid of scratching the car during the process. I had the mental image of the screwdriver jumping out of my hand and putting a long scratch in the quarterpanel (there was a better chance of scratching the plastic lens if I slipped).
