I think there was a space in it. Nice directions worthy of saving.

I remember that in a post of TJ related to that, they said that the clear turn signals and corner lights are illegal in some states. IIRC.

All in all it took a couple hours. I had to take the drivers side apart 3 times because the adj. screw housing kept popping apart. But to do the swap about 2 hrs. They are pretty bright. In the old headlights I had the HI blue bulbs. they just didnt put out as much in the clear headlights. IDK why that is. but with the regular white bulbs they are very good
