Default Clear corner replacement?

Can anyone share the easiest way to replace the front turn signal housings? From the top? Underneath?

TIA,
DBLX

From underneath.

Put the front of the car on jack stands or ramps. Get on your back, on the bottom of the bumper cover in front of each wheel is a black panel with 5 or 6 bolts to remove. When you remove this panel and put a light in there you will see the backs of the corner lights.

I have done these 3 times. Its a tight spot and the brake cooling ducts are in the way but it gets done.

There are two small bolts and a spring which has to be removed. You can't see the spring, its on top of the light, but you will be able to feel it to remove it.

Its not to hard to do.

Good luck.
