Default If you're talking about swapping out the factory lenses..

(the whole thing) for the Neuspeed clear corners, the tools should be the same as in the FAQ on doing the clear corner mod (Torx wrench).

I did the mod this wknd and it turned out pretty bad so I order the clear corners today.

If you are doing this install, I can give you a hint on how to get the 3rd screw back in - it aint easy!

Default Dental floss around the screw a few times will help put pressure against the torx wrench...

then when its started, just pull off the floss.
