Problem after problem....
the last 2 days it has been raining like hell here and my blinkers and running light both blew out from a water leak, question is how do i take the clear corner cover off ( is there anything to unscrew or does it pop out from the front or should i jsut go and get the black ones and replace it since i have the blacked out head lights ?

And going to black lenses will "ONLY" change the looks bud.......they have nothing to do with leaks. The water's probably coming in through the holes where your bulb sockets go in to the lense. If your rubber seal ring is worn out and it's not really hard to screw the socket into the lense, you might want to change it.

yeah arch its much easier on the 98+. they can be taken out from the bottom i think, but pulling the headlights is easier.
on 93-97 maros you have to go from the bottom, but on my bird i can take em out through the top and bottom
i just opened my headlights halfway and shoved my hands down there and unbolted them, then unbolted the single bolt on the side of that bottom cover then slid the lense through there.
it was even easier on my first maro, the green one. it didnt have those two panels underneath

A lot of people I've talked to that have the 98+ Camaros,......they actually pulled the headlights out and went in through there. I've never done it, but you might want to ask Chad or Grant, I know they both have.

What Evvvv 
I just know that changing out the 93-97's couldn't be easier,.....and the two guys that were talking about their LS1 cars, were complaining about what a pain it was. Maybe it was because they had big hands and had some trouble with going through the headlight area. 
Speaking of swapping out clear corners,......I'll be changing mine for a third time this Thursday, when I finally do the DRL mod to my car. (yay)
