Well, going from memory...
If you look at the corner light, there should be a small (3" long)bracket coming off of it and screwing into the frame behind the headlights. Unscrew this bracket. On the back side of the corner light, there is a metal prong with a tip that is slightly wider than the rest of the prong. It slides through a rubber grommet and holds the lamp in place. To remove the lamp, you have to pull directly forward on it until this prong slides out of the grommet. It's pretty easy if you pull almost straight forward while wiggling the lamp around. But, the one screw is the only thing you have to remove (and the bracket that the screw goes through is useful for pulling on to get the lamp out). Then unclip the light bulb connector and you're free.

Thanks,
I looked at it and saw the braket you speak of. Figured that couldn't be it and that I was gonna need to remove the whole fender or under cover. This should be fairly easy.

Yes, that is the way that it comes apart. Just take your time and don't force anything and you should be fine. One of the easiest lights to take off.

Thanks guys, took all of 5 minutes. It just didn't seem likely that there would be just 1 screw holding it in. She's all prettied back up from her little garage incident.
