the only thing that I can find is how to clear the diffuser by cooking the headlights and how to install the sidemarker.

I can't find the one for installing the clear diffuser w/ pics

you already found it, bro. cooking the headlights is part of the install for the diffusers. it's that set of instructions along with its pics that you'll need.

or take off your headlights and send them to Ricks for a replacement with clear diffusers

What others have indicated here is accurate. Just read Rick's instructions. Once you've baked the headlamps and split open the halves of the headlamp assembly, you'll gain access to the amber OEM diffuser. Lay the clear front half of the headlamp assembly face down on a towel (something soft & scratch free). A phillips screw driver will be needed to remove 3 screws that hold the diffuser [and its chrome reflective dish] into the headlamp housing. After removing the screws, gently pry back two retaining clips. Then the diffuser & its chrome reflective dish come out together. The amber OEM diffuser can be removed from the chrome reflective dish by gently prying back on two retaining clips molded into the OEM diffuser. Bingo-bango...you've removed the diffuser...

To install the side marker, grasp the side marker and pull it towrds the rear of the car, and it will pop right out. Unplug it, and reverse procedure to install the new clear side marker.

... And remember you nearly need three hands though to do this simple mod. Because if you don't hold onto that "unplugged" wire harness......it likes to fall down behind the fenderwell . One easy remedy is to have some lite-stick masking tape handy and just tape the harness/wire aside while you swap the side markers & bulbs out.

I was taking my side markers out for practice when my clears come in and but I pressed it to the front of the car and man it did pop out but it took awhile......Didn't know you had to do it in reverse!!
