Default Clear Corners DIY- Help Finding Another One

I've been looking around the web for the DIY on clear corners for my B5 S4. I've found a few but most are picture-less and others have pics but they aren't showing up. I've looking and found DIY's on Audizine, here at the Audi forums, and AudiDIY.com but none have photos or the photos aren't being displayed because they aren't being hosted anymore. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other place that they visit that I haven't mentioned. I could go by description but I would like the have some photos on hand too. Thanks.[8D]

audiworld has a good DIY... or check out edyjun's faq page, i think its on there... its really pretty easy though..

remove headlights,
solder a hole in the back in an area you can reach the yellow tabs with a screwdriver,
reach in with screw driver and pry at tabs to snap them,
once sidemarker loose, use pliers (i used 2 small ones which worked well) and go in through the headlight hole and break the marker into many pieces so you can remove them through the headlight hole.
then, use a sort of clear apoxy or caulk-esque type to fill the hole you soldered.. i believe a marine caulk would work well
let it dry then install headlights

I did my clear corners this weekend. Took most of the afternoon and into the evening with all the hardware store runs I had to make. If I thought I had one tool, I didn't so I would have to pick it up. Nonetheless, it looks really good.

Just running to get a few things like the Torx screwdriver and the fact that I took a while drilling, going really slow to make sure I didn't cut anything out that I didn't need to. Had to run back to get some caulking. Then the relector was a bitch to get out since it didn't want to move... then I took a food break. Then I let the caulk dry... while I ate some more. Then installed the lights back and it and was done. I'll post some pics a little bit later.

These cars look so much cleaner with the clear corners done.
