Hello, I am new to the forums and figured this would be a good place to ask a question I have.

I just bought clear side markers to replace the orange turn signals on the side of the car. I was wondering if anyone had done this before or knows of a way to remove the ones that are there.

I dont want to damage the paint or anything, any help would be great, thanks.

just did mine a couple of weeks ago. very easy.
take a look at the new markers, the smaller end/rear has a plastic clip (V like) on the back side.
knowing this;
1st: use some tape to protect the paint around the lens assembly on the car (i used blue masking tape)
2nd: the lens will pull out a bit (i used my fingernails buy a small screwdriver(plastic would be nice) would work.
3rd:with the lens out a bit (just enough to get a small driver in) insert the driver enough to push/slide forward the plastic "V clip" to release the lens.
4th: undo the lamp exchange lenses etc. the new one should snap back into place.

enjoy!
Ron.

 

Thanks for the information, I guess it would have helped if I had noted that my e55 was a 2002 but I am sure it should not be that much of a difference?

 

no problem. can't imagine it's much different.
good luck.
