How do you remove the orange side indicators on the front bumper?

I just recently bought a set of OEM clears for the side orange markers on the front bumper. How do I remove the original orange ones so I can replace it with my clears?

TIA

Frank

You can read the manual and insert a screwdriver thru the little hole on the inside of the fender . Then after you get tired of screwing around and getting frustrated, you can do what I did.

Just grab the damn thing at the end and yank it out . Lol
(it just snaps in ,so all you do is bend the metal clip on the old orange one which you wont re-use anyway)

The manual method is tedious and frustrating.

Easier way is:

1. Pull on the end facing the wheel well with one hand. You have to pull with moderate amount of force on it. It won't break.

2. Use the other hand to grab the small opening (as a result of the pulling) at the other end and pull it loose. The sidemarker will come off unbelievably easy.

3. Unplug the harness and plug in the Clears

4. Replace it back in

Voila!

Haha. I used a wooden clothes pin to pry the indicators far enough to pull out ...
