Clear Turn Lenses

I bought a set of clear turn signal lenses for the front of the car. I was wondering if the nose has to be taken off to get those lights out. I was messing with them for a few minutes the other day and could not find an easy way of getting those lenses out.

NOOOO!!! It's easy, just remove your headlights. There are I think 3 bolts holding the headlights in place. Not the ones that direct the headlights, but the ones that screw into the headlight mount. Once the headlights are out just switch out the turn signals, I did it in about 45 minutes and they really look great!!!

Any recommended places to find them? I've heard of them having leaking issues, and I was just curious if there was a better manufacturer/supplier to look for. Thanks.

Yeah they tend to leak, well mine did at least. The passenger side let a little water in when I washed it this afternoon. Burned out all my new bulbs too dammit!!!

Actually, I redid it yesterday to change the bulb, it's 2 10mm grey bolts on the back and the outside of the headlight. They slide slightly towards the inside and pull right out. Easy!!!
