Welcome to the forums.

Here's some scans I just added to THE 3G GARAGE for front and rear side marker removal.

All you have to do is open your trunk there are a couple knobs and a couple screws holding the inner liner to your body once you take off the appropriated screws you will see the rear side marking backing which is white. All you gotta do is unplug it and then pop them out.

Thanks for posting that, but seriously?!? There's not a simpler way to change the fronts, like, pop them off from the outside?? I've been impressed with the engineering of the car up til now, but if THAT'S the process then they could've made it way, WAY simpler...

You are right btw theres ann easier way to get the front side marker removed...open your front door and popout the side marker..thatss all and pop the new one in.

Geez alotta ppl here make things harder for themselves when there is a simpler solution sometimes

I am by no means a mechanic, gearhead, or technician but that was THE easiest mod I've ever done. Overall 5 minute job. Open your trunk and remove the screws closest to you on the very ledge. One on each side is enough. The tool kit helps ($5 ebay). Pull back the trunk lining and you'll see a white 6 inch bar. That's it. Shove your hand inside and press in on the edge of the two sides horizontally to each other. Then push. Voila! Comes out very easily. Then press in on the connector and pull it out from the wiring. Stick the new one in and snap it into place. Just like lego's!
