This is where I use the combo, under the front fascia, peel the fenderwell back method. Crank your wheels toward the opposite side of the car that you are working on. Remove the three fender liner screws you can see in this picture...
By peeling back the fender liner, it will expose the corner lens that you are replacing. This will allow the lens to slide to the outboard side of the car, and also give you additional access to the two winged pins that actually hold the lens in place. Just compress the two winged pins, and push in on the front of the lens from the front of the car. The two wing pins will easily release.This is where I use the combo, under the front fascia, peel the fenderwell back method.

Back under the front fascia, the lens can now be slid toward the outboard side of the car, which then allows the lens to basically just fall down, with the light sockets still attached to the lense. This is the drivers side. The passenger side is a bit tighter, due to the windshield washer resevoir being right in the way. But it is still quite workable...
Once the light sockets are twisted and released from the lens, the lens can be removed. At this point, I fed the two light sockets back through the opening in the front fascia for the lens, for ease of bulb replacement.
Prior to this, I had used the stock clear bulbs. I opted to change out the bulbs at the same time as the lens replacement, in favor of the stealth bulbs. The bulbs were shipped with the lenses, in these cute little plastic bags. I would suggest leaving the bulbs inside the plastic bags during replacement, to avoid unnecessary handling of the stealth bulbs...
Once the bulb replacement is complete, just push the sockets back through the bumper opening. Back under the car, the tabbed end of the new lens needs to be inserted under the slotted piece of the front fascia. You will probably need to apply a bit of force to get the tab to lock under the slot. Then pivot the lens over the two winged pins on the other side. Both the tabbed side, and the winged side will lock in with a very distinctive snap. You will know when they are propery engaged...
