Default How do you remove the sidemarkers?

I tried the search function but it didn't even find side marker or sidemarker.
What is the easiest way of removing the sidemarkers? Thanks!

are you ready? take a pair of plier and yank the shiit out of them and then use a flat head screw driver and scrape off the remaining glue

not really. lol. grab them firmly, push towards the front of the car (will move like 1/8th of an inch), and pull the rear end out first. voila!

You're better off using dental floss and start from the back of sidemarker and slide the dental floss under the light to catch the tab and pull forward. I think you run less risk of breaking the tabs this way.

all of those work fine. i did it the totally retarded way because i did not know what was involved in holding them in place. I pulled 3 or 4 of the plastic rivets that hold the wheel well liner in place and put the 'ol arm up into the space behind the sidemarkers and pushed them out.

The push forward and pull out technique did not work for me right off the bat. But now I have the technique down pat and it is simple. Just dont apply too much down or pressing in pressure and you will be fine
