This is a very easy mod. Basically they are a direct replacement for the orange light assembly except of course the lense is clear with a amber bulb inside.

To install, you turn your wheel all the way to the side so you can get access to the fender well area, then you remove a few of the plastic connectors that hold the inside plastic trim in place so you can access the screw that holds the corner light in place. Remove the screw, twist the bulb socket to undo it, then you swing out the corner light and it will eventually come all the way out. Then you just put in the new one in reverse order.

I am mechanically inept and I took off my bumper put the RB grilles & clear corners in and had the bumper back on looking perfect in about an hour. And that was being extremely careful.

Doing just the clears is real easy, just pop off the four plastic clips per side, pull the wheel well trim back, take off one screw, push on the snap to get the corner out, unplug the corner and plug in the new one. Do the reverse to finish it off.

It will help you to examine your uninstalled clear corner so you know where the snap is, where the sheet metal screw is and how the tab and hook at the front of the part install.

The only other "trick" is to be gentle with the black plastic clips holding the wheel well trim on. It only requires a soft quarter turn and the head in the middle will pop out. Then you can grab the outer ring and just wiggle the clip out.

It should take you about 5-10 mins. to do just the corners.

to repeat what has been said before it is easy. Just remember the clear corners are a little thicker then the normal corners. I installed mine in 10 mins. but it took me an additional 5 mins. to convince myself that i installed them correctly, because of the thickness.
