93-97 firebird clear corner install

[tkoforpresident]

just got my clear corners in today, the front ones, before doing the install i was wondering if i could get some tips from anybody who's done them before on a 93-97 firebird. I see there is some room to reach my hand when the headlights are up, but i don't know if that's enough room. Should i go from under the car? What tools do i need? any help would be appreciated since there are no instructions. thank u

yea your gunna need to take off the flap undermeath and then reach ur hands and head up there and use ratchets becuase they are long screws. Youll figure it out once u put ur head up there and look. But i htink its a 7mm that u need but i could be wrong.

not sure if the camaros are the same as birds, but i needed a 10mm to get the splash gaurd off and a 7mm for the screws on the actual corner lense. Just take a whack at it, it's not that hard.

If you've got skinny arms, put the headlights up manually and snake your arm in there, 3 screws hold them in place.

Yep! Thats exactly the way I did it too! Alot easier than installing some on a camaro. :)

i think i'll try that before i take off the wind panel, however i imagine it would be difficult to replace the bulbs and but the screws back in , btw do you use the old screws to mount the new light? And my set came with oarnge lights, should i use these?

thanx for the help so far

the orange bulbs i got w/ mine didn't fit. i installed my corners from underneath w/o raising the front end. it took a lot longer than it needed to w/ limited space. its not hard to do, its just a process.

install is done fellas, did it all from above the car with my headlights in the up position, however my arms are shredded as there is little space to manuever. However they look good and it only took me 2 hours (not bad i suppose) thanx for all the help, and i used a 9/32 socket cuz i don't have metric =)
