Yes there is. I think I found a number of them when I changed out my clear corners. Search is your friend.

There is really not much to it.
Just remove the access panel between the front of each wheel well and the left and right spoiler extensions. Remove the bulb sockets from the housing with 1/4 turn. The top of the housing is held in place with a single spring, so unhook the spring from the inside of the bumper. The bottom is held in with just two screws. The housing will easily slide out through the access opening.
One caution...when re-installing the housing, tighten the mounting screws so that the housing is not forced up against the rear edge of the bumper opening too tightly, or the constant pressure may cause hairline cracks to form from the back corner of the light housing.
I adjusted mine so that I could still slide a piece of paper between the lense and the bumper. The mounting screws are not made to allow much adjustment, but you can keep from forcing the lense tightly against the inside of the bumper.
