Chrome Handle Insert Removal Help

Is there a DIY guide posted anywhere? I just purchased a CPO 2009 C350 that has them installed and I think they're hideous. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of them. Thanks.

I have Mars Red. I took one off and decided it was a pain. My tint shop charged me a half hour labor to remove the other 3. I'm glad you like yours. On white they're probably more subtle. On Red, they're not my style.
