It's pretty easy to tell how they pop out when you look at the new lens & hold it up to the bumper.
Go in through the fender liner & use an angled screwdriver or any long object with a slight bend in it to pop that clip out.

No disrespect to my man Busta Riles but this is definitely the "long way around" method. Get a pretty slim flat head screwdriver and a hand towel. Starting from the end closest to your wheel, place the towel against the car at the rear edge of the lens to protect the paint while you leverage the lens out. Get the screwdriver in the space between the fender and lens and pop it out. You'll meet with a little resistance but don't stop. It literally pops right out. I changed mine from orange (OEM), to clear, to smoke. Literally less than five minutes to swap lenses and bulbs, both sides combined.

. Did you not see that his is a different MY then yours? Did you not know that the side markers changed between MYs? Therefore your steps may not work as easily as someone elses.

when I made an honest mistake while just trying to help a fellow forum member, is disrespect to me. Did you not know that? No disrespect, a$$hole.

Where did you get your clear turn signals?
There seem to be several suppliers out there. Where did you guys get yours and do you like the quality of them?
