How to replace clear side markers - detailed.
Does anyone have detailed pictures of how to go about replacing the side markers. I just received my clear ones and would like to get the ugly orange ones replaced. Any help is appreciated as I want to make sure not to damage anything while taking it apart.
Thanks.
Thanks.

It really easy. Just take the bumper off and push them out from the inside.
See, no problem!
Just kidding. I used a thin blade and released the lamp assy from the rear edge. Use the new one as a guide so you know where the tab to push is. Sorry no pictures but it is really a no brainer. Good luck!

No need to take bumper off. Get a small flat head, wrap a cloth/towel or something around it, wedge it between the light and body and gently pop it out. You might to wedge in a few spots at a time.
You can get em off ebay.
It's clipped on but will come out. New ones should pop right in.

I changed it out last night and it was pretty easy. The key is to start removing the side marker from the front of the car and work your way around. Here is a pic showing where I started removing it from.
BTW: I ordered mine from StealthAuto.com. I also ordered the chrome bulbs from them.
