Pull the whole assembly out. Remove the grille first which is done just by pinching the two clips on either side and lifting it out. Then there are 3 screws, maybe 4 to remove to get the whole assembly out. Just loosen the screw on the side that attaches the assembly to the corner lamp. Finally, disconnect the power plug. These are a little tricky if I remember correctly, so take your time. One peice needs to slide over to be able to disconnect it...I'd be more descriptive but I can't really remember.

Once the assembly is out remove the metal clips holding the lense on with a screwdriver to lever them off. Should be at least four but a look at the housing shows places for more. I bought a few more to secure the lense better. BEWARE WHEN REMOVING THESE CLIPS!!! They pop off and fly around and they are EXPENSIVE! I went to the dealer to buy a bunch of them just to have in the parts bin and they rang up 10 of them at around $80. YES, $80. More than I payed for the lense itself. I ended up just buying enough to finish the job of course.

If you order the lense from eeuroparts.com or similar supplier it will come with a new gasket and instructions....NO CLIPS. Wouldn't be a bad idea to ask whoever you buy the lense from if they sell the clips too...maybe you can get a little break on price because you are bound to either lose one or be missing one in the first place.

Now that that is all over....clean out the reflector assembly very delicately. Then install the new lense and clip it down. I used a tiny bead of clear silicone to hold the gasket in place.

Your done....put the assembly back on the car and tighten everything down, go have a beer and bill your sister @ $75 an hour for labor.
