Glad to hear you already accomplished this.

Yes things look cramped in their. On the drivers side I did see a gray colored cover but it seemed that it covered the head light. On the pasenger side I saw a black cover that also covered the right head light.

If I remove these covers will this expose the area for the blinker lenses?

From past experience with other cars there were treaded studs that passed thru the body that mounted the lenses, is this also the case or is it these clips you mention that hold the turn signal lense(s) in place?

I'm trying to know as much detail as possible so that I don't start something I can't finish myself.

TIA
