Question Replacing orange marker lense

new to this site so if this has already been adressed I apologize. I purchased new front marker lenses (clear) and was trying to figure out how the heck I pull the orange ones off to replace. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

make sure you also check to see if there is a screw holding the orange lense to the black housing. If it doesn't come off easily, there most likely is one. gotta get a L shape torx wrench to unscrew it. good luck

I just did mine yesterday, took 30 minutes to do both sides. At first it was abit tricky then got easy. There was no screw in mine thankfully

I too am thinking about getting the clear lenses for my c300, they look so much better than stock

There's a thread somewhere that said you don't have to take apart the wheel well - just reach in from engine compartment. FYI.

Its impossible to reach from the engine bay unless your hands is the size of a 2 year olds. I didn't pull my wheel well all the way out, I just pulled it enough to sneak my hand in. Took off 3 pins, then pulled out the wheel well to fit my hand and done.
