Clear Corner - Remove the yellow reflector. I hacked mine so I'm not offering!

Default Super easy. There are a couple of write ups in the tech articles ...

... some hints ... from doing a few sets:

1)Don't drill into the back of your housing. Use a soldering iron to burrow a hole big enough for your screwdriver to fit through ... this leaves less shavings inside the headlight that you need to get out. You can then melt the plastic back to cover the hole you made. Still may need to dab some sealant on there to keep water out. I used scraps of plastic from my RS4 mesh mod project to 'weld' the holes shut.

2) Use a thin, long flat head screw driver to scrape off the top and bottom tabs that hold the lens in. If you try to drill them out, like some of the tech article say, you'll undoubtedly drill through the silver reflective piece (like I did). Just work at them and they'll eventually give.

3) Careful when you pry the reflector out towards the center of the headlight ... the silver reflective coating is easily scratched.

4) Ditto when you are breaking it up to remove.

5) No need to remove all the lighting parts, just the turn signal bulb piece ...

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Recommend Stealth Bulbs for the turn signal ... a little pricey, but have a lifetime warranty.
