Actually this isn't a common Gen 5 question because the corner lense isn't independent of the headlamp. Since I'm the guy who cleared out a Gen 5 corner lense let me show you a picture:
this is from Khanh's Gen 5 Camry, this can be found in that link that was posted above but I wanted to point out this picture for a reason:
I had to take the front lense off of course, then once you do that it's fairly simple......you just pop the orange bezel off, there's little notches were it snaps in place and you just stick a flat head screwdriver in there and pop it. But you have to be careful because it's easy to scratch the chrome.
as far as it looking ugly.....if you replace the clear bulb with an orange bulb, then it looks OEM.....but any other color looks weird, ask Khanh.
feel free to ask me anything. noob or not.
