W210 Bumper lights. How do you change the lenses?

Anybody got any easy way to get the lenses off? I'm switching to clears. How do you get these things off?

Driver's Side - Insert a thin screwdriver on the inside right side of the marker lens as your looking straight at it. Push slightly inward toward lens and it will pop right out. Insert the new marker, left end first and snap in place.

Passenger Side - Insert a thin screwdriver on the inside left side of the marker lens as your looking straight at it. Push slightly inward toward lens, etc.

for MY00+...

there is instructs in manual. there is triangular shaped opening in wheel well. you can locate a little tab with finger or screwdriver(gently) and push in tab to pop off lens. you may want to do this instead of risking scratch on outside. unsure of pre-00 models.

for pre 2000 models, use a thin rag, to protect the paint.

I have a set coming to me courtesy of another MBWorld member. I'm just preparing for when they get here I got naother set of bulb too so no more yellow except for the lights on the mirrors. I got wheels coming to me tomorrow. I'm dying to see how this car comes out. Hopefully everything fits and sits right. I want to start on the inside soon. Uncle Sam just took all my money.

So which way is better? Taking them off from the wheels wells or right off the top? By the way, I got a 2000 e320.
