    How to remove side markers?

    I searched and found that I need to grip the marker and slide it forward and lift up on the rear edge with either finger nails or a credit card. Problem is that when I tried it there was no forward movement at all. Absolutely no movement what so ever. Any tips?

    BTW, my side markers are on the yellow side and even though I'm not much fixated on vanity, those markers are starting to bother me as the only part on this car that does not look good. The rest is just f'n sexy.

    Not sure, mine come off pretty easy with just my fingers.

    How exactly are you doing it? I'm just afraid I might break it.

    Sorry, all I know is to slide forward and pop out. Maybe they got put in and not slid back, so they are just ready to pop out? Don't recall if that would be noticeable or not.

    Push forward and pull out. You need a good grip.

    Credit card with wax paper wrapped around it worked great for me

    They are probably just stuck in place. My OEM ambers were like that. I had to push and wiggle before they finally popped free and slid forward.

    Put a piece of duct tape on it, and leave the tail hanging off. Use the tail to pull it one direction, and pop it out. If it doesn't move in one direction, try the other direction.

    Obviously you haven't seen Dane in some time, his running regime has trimmed him to a lean, mean, non-fighting machine. And factor in his advanced age, David Spade might give him a run for his money in a brawl.

    Luv ya buddy! Adolfo's beers making me creative, lol.
