How do you remove either front turn signal lens? I have a 2000.

If you're referring to the actual corner light housings, you have two options...

1) You can access the corners from underneath the car and removing the corner spoiler and back access panel in the wheel well.

or

2) If you are planning other mods, like HID lights, new fogs, etc., you can access the corner light housing from the top after you remove the stock lights. This is much easier than going in from underneath, however I would only recommend it if you're performing more than one mod. If it's just the corners, go in from underneath although it a little tougher on the back...

They are spring clipped into the fascia from the back side-if you push on them you'll feel the springs. You'll either have to get them from underneath or take the fascia off/loose (not a very tough job either).

Actually theere is only 1 spring and why it's even on it I have no clue. The 2 screws you take out are either 7mm or 8mm I forgot. I've take mine out about 4 times now for light upgrades.

MSG C5

I never understood the need for the tension spring either. Why didn't the GM engineers simply use a 3rd screw? You can feel the tension that the spring produces, so perhaps it was to help with road bumps/shocks, etc.

Possibly but again with the 2 screws already intact it doesn't move at all. I just assume it was on someones to do list and brag sheet at the end of the year. I question alot of things that GM did on our cars .

I think it was put there to make re-assembly a pain in the ***
