front or rear? the rears can only be removed if you remove the rear bumper. the fronts all ya gotta do i push the lights towards the front with yer thunmb and them pull out . it's like it's hinged towards the front. they kinda just pop out

front or rear? the rears can only be removed if you remove the rear bumper.

actually all you have to remove is the black 10mm bolt in on the rear edge lip of the wheelwell and then pull back the side portion of the bumper just enough that you can reach in there with a 10mm socket or offset boxwrench to remove the nut from the marker light, then the marker light itself will just come off. Bumper removal is far more work than actually needed.

Before I changed to clear rear marker lights, I'd taken off the stock red ones probably a dozen times, it only takes a minute.

(yes, I know... the question was about the FRONT ones - which just pop out - but wanted to clarify that rears were nearly just as easy)

hey window those rear sidemarkers look tight! How did you do that? you should write up a tech on how to do that. where to get the sidemarkers and all that.

Front ones push forward and pry up. It may seem as though they are going to break, but then they pop right out.
