Default Side Marker Removals

I want to smoke the side markers, I know how to remove the front (Yellow) markers but trying to remove the rears.

Can someone tell me how to remove the rear (Red) side markers

Remove the outer tail light (one Torx bolt at the top), reach in and squeeze the plastic clips (same as the fronts), and pop them out.

FYI- When you have the tail light out, you can accidentally knock off the Tinnerman nut that the Torx bolt was threaded into, and lose it.

I know there's two clips on each marker right? Do you squeeze one and push out is that enough ? I remember doing mine and I got really frustrated to the point where one clip broke on both sides. Not sure what the hell I was doing wrong but I'm about to do it again next week with clear markers .

Both of the clips have to be squeezed.

The forward clip in the front side marker is difficult to reach if you have large forearms.

I had to use a large, wide, flat-blade screw driver to push on the forward clip, after the rear clip was loose/popped out.

The rears are easy to reach and if you do one of those first, you will be able to see what your dealing with.
