Want to install signal lights myself?

I just got my smoked signal lights and I want to install them myself. I have no clue how to install them. I don't want to just jam them in and ruin my body. Any help please?

Take a flat head screw driver with a decent size tip on it. Insert it gently between the joint of the turn signal (the crack towards the smaller side marker part of the assembly). Pry gently and then when you can get your fingers in there and pull straight out. The entire assemly pops out together. If that scares you get under the car and unbolt the side molding and sidemarker and then try again however its not really necessary.

On the new smoked signal insert the tab closest to the center of the bumper first then slightly bend the assembly and insert the other tab that goes towards the fender. Push firmly in the middle and it should clip back in. I'm using these on my Border bumper and I actually had to glue a stud on the back of the turn signal and drill on a hole to hold the lamp in place since it never 'clicked' in.

There's really no way you can mess up your body....simply install. Those oem lamps are just stuck in place from being in there so long with debris and the like surrounding them.
