Help - How do I remove/install new side lamps/markers

Hello everyone,

I have searched under various keywords and cannot find actual instructions on how to remove the side lamps/markers on my c230 Kompressor sedan.

Can someone please point me in the right direction....or give me a brief idea on how to remove and then install my new lenses below:


Thanks.

Push the sidemarkers toward the rear of the car, and pry with your fingernails from the front side. For me, it required a little help from a plastic butter knife to pry it out. Be careful not to scratch the paint.

Take a flathead screwdriver, Cover it with cloth.
Pry it in the left side and gently pop it out.
Then intall with the right side going in first, and pop it in.
I used the same clears from Tim Tim on my C230K
They fit great.

Thanks everyone.

I actually used a Flat head screwdriver. The lenses I used in the picture above fit fairly well. No major issues like I've read about here on other clear lenses.
