really easy, just use a Phillip's screwdriver and take off 2 of the plastic screws in the wheel well...just turn then and they pretty much snap off...next pull back the black plastic lining, again, really easy...next look under and you'll see that the clear corner is held up by 1 screw...unscrew it and pull the clear corner out...

i opted to use the original white bulb that came with the car as i don't like the orange that came with the corners so i just twisted the bulb out of the original and the new clear corner and replaced it...

took about 10 minutes total...i had to turn the wheel in the opposite direction of the corner i was changing to allow enough room

Is this the same method to get to the fender grills? I was looking and was like WTF? It's BLOCKED!

Nice of mazda to put all that plastic there, at least the rocks flying off the tires won't be too loud.
