Clear lenses?
I just bought the clear lenses from perfect run. How hard are they to put in? What tools are needed and how do you to it? Any instructions would be greatly appreciated for my little project this weekend! Thanks!

very very easy to do.
Grab a screw driver. Place a towel over the end (So you dont scratch the paint), you can just lever the old lenses out without breaking them! once you have levered them out, take the globe out etc, then place the new organge globe in and clip the new clear lenses into the same spot.
its a 5 min job per side, main thing is to be careful you dont rbeak the old lenses and DONT scratch your paint work
can I also add, you may want to take them time to clean the area around the indicator... once the old one is out, there will probably be "very hard to get to" dirt that has been there for years, I got some polish out etc to get rid of it before I put the new lenses in.,

Mine were very stiff coming out - and couldn't seem to lever them out from outside at all...
So was told to try from inside. Got a thin metal rod or the like, half open the door, and you can see the inside of the wing - push the clip on the bottom of the lens up and out, and they popped right out with a little pressure. Even easier if there's someone pulling it from outside aswell.
Tis fiddly and tight space, but tis another way if they're being bu99ers

If you can't dazzle them with dexterity, baffle them with bull...

My painter broke both of mine when he took them out to respray my car.
The orange plastic was very brittle and this is why I had to put the clear lenses in.
Once you get the old ones out its a 2 second job to refit the clear lenses just be careful not to drop the globe holder and wire down inside the fender.
