Need Help, Sidemarker

So I purchased new side markers and I'm about to install them this weekend and I was wondering how I should approach doing it. Is there a *** on the inside that I should lift to release the sidemarker? I've seen this in other models but I'm not sure if the W203 requires the same procedure. I searched on the forums and couldn't really find a DIY specifically for the W203. If anyone has a DIY or know's how to do it I'd gladly appreciate the input, I'd rather get it done right the first time.

just use a flat head and a sock (for protection, you know how it is) and pry that sucker out at the clip. Be gentle, but not too gentle
