Default Side marker replacement light/reflector

Is there an easy way to remove the factory reflector light assembly? The grill ones were easy enough but I'm having a little trouble with these. Thanks!

Not bad once you pull a few rivets out.

Drill out the 2 front plastic rivets (Go Slow to only detach the rivet) then separate the inner panel. When you are done, replace the rivets with regular push clips. (Home Depot or Lowes actually have them.

Good luck

You dont need to drill...take a big pair of channel locks, a deep socket, and a allen key that fits in the hole of the rivet set your deep socket on top of the rivet and squeeze hard itll pop right out...and plus you can reuse them when your done...its a pita but youll get it...also make sure your signals are on the right side. Theres a left and a right side. Theres a holding clip on the top that will snap off If there on the wrong sides good luck
