Default Side Corner Install?

I just ordered some clear side corners from JWMotoring.com with the LED strip in them. I cant find anything online on how to remove and install them. Has anyone done this and have any advice? I appreciate any help!

Just jack up the front of the car and remove the outer air deflectors and close-out panels. Then you will have a straight shot at the backside of the lamps. It's easy once the front end is up so you can work comfortably from underneath.
Edit; You will also need to remove the brake cooling ducts, I believe.

I seen some pics of people doing it that way. Has anyone taken the tires off and removed the foward panel. It seems like it would be way easier that way. I am not sure if I can reach everything I need to from right there though.
