Just installed smoked side markers on Nimbus roadster
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/11/smoked_installed_2.jpg"></center><p>I also installed blue indicator bulbs at same time, total time less than 10 minutes
looks pretty cool
IMHO the smoked markers look better on darker cars

Side markers obtaind from Import Vision see link - tel 805 306 1694
I believe 2002 are the same
The perimeter edge on the smoked lens did appear lighter but it is not noticeable when installed.
To remove OEM lens firmly push the the edge of the lens nearest the door (back edge) toward the front of the car at the same time with your finger nails raise the back edge till it pops out . The lens then simply pulls out of a rubber housing.<ul><li><a href="http://www.importvision.com/">http://www.importvision.com/</a</li></ul>

They are the same. Look here for removal/install
Start from the right side.
Insert a small flat blade screwdriver behind the plastic bezel, next to the fender panel.
Push the blade to the left.
You are compressing a plastic tab on the left side.
You will probably need to push hard.

Then, without scratching the paint, pull the blade towards you.
The other side should pivot on the left side, and you should then be able to pull the whole assembly out.
The lamp socket is protected by the black vinyl grommet. You can pull the lamp socket out of the lens assembly. I think it's a twist-turn to remove the lamp.
You can then see how this stays in place, in the slot in the fender.

A neat assembly technique.

I just used my thumb to push forward and then out - have done this with
my Avant, GTI and now the TT and never had a problem getting them out. No risk of scratching the paint either.
