Changing out clear corner marker lights - help?

Anyone know the steps t change out the factory orange clear corner markers to new clear ones... I'm sure its an easy process but just want to be sure I'm not breaking anything before I start the process.

take a flat had screw driver...take your hand and slide the plastic housing forward the slide in the screw driver behind it (always towards the rear of the car) and gently pry open...they are simply maneuvered in with a lil hook sort of thing...pull it out, you will see that the bulb twists into a housing inside the marker itself so dont yank away until you separate it from the bulb...and then repeat for other side

Its super easy... but "GENTLY" is the key word here.

You shouldn't need a screwdriver. Just push with your fingers. I forget if it's forward or back. Your owners manual can better answer the question.
