    Front Corner Lights + Sidemarkers (Facelift Sedan) doityourself

    Front Corner Lights

    Open your hood. Look for the hole near the front of the fender near the corner light. If you peek inside you'll see a phillips screw.



    Unscrew this until it gets loose and then slide the sidemarker out. You may need to stick a screwdriver on the back of the unit and push it out as it may not slide out easily by hand. Once loose, pull it out.

    You will see the connector on the back. Twist the connector partially and remove the bulb holder.




    Installation is reverse of removal.

    Note: To remove the bulb, twist the bulb partially until you feel it slightly pop out of its socket, at which point just pull straight up on it to remove. Install is reverse of removal.



    Sidemarkers

    Grab a hold of the unit and slide it towards the front of the car. You may or may not need a plastic prying tool to pop the end of it that's towards the back of the car, outwards. Once it's popped out, the entire unit removes easily.



    To remove the connector, pry up very gently on the black tab in the middle of the connector and take off the connector from the bulb housing.



    This is what it looks like removed, with the bulb still in place (the right side of the unit in this pic is towards the front of the car; this is a unit from the right side of the car):



    To remove the bulb housing, twist it slightly and it will come free from the sidemarker. To remove the bulb on the holder, pull straight out.

    Installation is the reverse of removal.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    Good DIY, BP. I guess I was busy preparing for VA when you posted this.

    Good work.
