Default clear corners

Got some new clear corners to replace the ugly orange ones.
So how do I remove the old ones????
Sorry to ask such a basic question.
Thanks!

you need to remove the front bumper and undo them from the inside.

Or rather than removing the entire front bumper just do what all the cool kids are doing - remove the front wheels and take out the front plastic wheel well liner. You can then reach the reflectors. The one on the passenger's side requires a right-angle screw driver to clear the fluid tank there.

Mine have been ordered from Darren at Intense so should be getting them in about a week, can't wait to put on. I'm so tired of the orange ones not matching anything else.

It is fast enough and it takes a little bit more of work than you would imagine... especially if you start on the driver's side, which is the easy one... that can go in about 10 minutes counting the time to take the wheel and the well liner off

I'm gonna try the writeup in the DIY section. I'll probably start on the passenger side first. I figure do the hard side first and coast to an easy finish, hahaha.

They make the clear ones for the 06. Courtesy parts has them on their website, and Darren @ Intense sells them too. Just no pics on Intensepower.com

It's even faster if you don't remove the tires. Just turn the wheels in on the side you are working on so it's just wheel well plastic to remove. Did mine in 30 minutes.

When I did mine I didn't have to remove the front or wheels, just the plastic cover on the bottom, and with a small screwdriver or even an angled one helps.

I was going to try that method first I think. Just remove the undertray and attempt to take them out straight from the bottom. If all else fails I will take the wheel and wheel well plastic off.
