Clear Side Marker Install

I just received my clear side markers from SunCoast for my 02 996 and did a search but couldn't located anything on how to install these things. Can someone point me in the direction or tell me how to install these?

Look at the new ones for the release tab location. Use a small screwdriver to pull them out a little, insert the screwdriver and push the release tab back. The new ones just snap right in, just put the fixed end in first.

Here's a little tech that I wrote up for a different board:

Before:



Step 1: Gently pry the old amber lens from the fender by lifting gently from the corner:



Step 2: Unplug wiring harness from turn signal assembly:





Step 3: Clean any debris from area:




Step 4: Plug harness into new turn signal assembly and install by first inserting the leading edge into the fender opening and then gently pressing the assembly into place:




Step 5: Admire your work

So I can just pull it out gently without having to push any buttons or tabs? Thanks for the pics, jstgermaine..makes it a lot easier to understand.

The owners manual... READ IT. The directions are there, same steps as if you were replacing a burned out light bulb there.

I didn't have to push in on the metal tab shown in the pictures...I just gently, yet firmly pulled and it came free with zero drama.
