side marker light

i got recently hit by tire on the freeway and broke off my side marker. I'm not very familiar with this car but do these just pop right off? i don't see any screws. I have to get it replaced anyways so thinking of getting the clear ones.
So when removing the side marker, do you just pull it off?
thanks

aiite i tried sliding the sidemarker towards the back but doesn't do much =(
is there is specific way to pop this off? i tried a lot of ways but just can't get this lens to come off! it feels like it's stuck there.

all i know is that the back should be pushed back so the front side should pop up, no? i need help installing these and got no instruction manual! please help!!

Youre doing it right. Its probably gotten stuck in there over the years.

Just use an old credit card or a flat tip screwdriver (wrapped in soft cloth) to pry out the front end after puishing the entire assembly towards the back of the car.

Theres a clip at the back end which sort of bends allowing you to pop out the front.
