I just recieved my clear corners in the mail. Unfortunatley I stripped 2 screws as i was trying to take off the stock light covers. Any idea on how i can fix this. Anyone else have this problem?

You probably didn't strip them. They are Torx screws. Get a Torx bit, I believe I saw T-15 on a guys post. If they are stripped for real and you are planning on throwing away the stock housing, you can cut a slot in the screw head with a dremel and use a flathead to turn it. Depends on how deep the screw is. It is almost impossible to strip a Torx head, they are designed to apply torque at right angles and require little or no horizontal force to turn, only radial pressure.
