Just stick a screwdriver under there and pry them off...

Of course that makes them unusable lol.

I am gluing mine back on. I took mine off and painted them black. Non functional now, possibly illegal, but looks pretty cool.

The marker has two studs that stick through the body and have a plastic nut on the other side that you need to unscrew. You can get to it from underneath the car, might need to remove the rear wheel. I'm sure someone here has more in depth info.

Take your two outer tail lights out and reach in there to get to them. They each have two nuts holding them in place.

Easiest way I would say. Did mine when installing the blackouts.

Fifteen minutes per side and you are done. Really nice improvement if you ask me.

Before you replace the markers, take the nut that will be holding them on the car and thread the shafts of the new markers. This will make it much easier to get the nut back on the marker once you are installing them in the car.

The front nut is a little tight to get to, but with a box end wrench you can do it. Just be careful and not drop the nut down into the fender area.
