Side markers. How do they come off?

You should be able to push the side marker from the front towards the rear of the car and gently pry it outward. Reinstalling is to put the rear side in first and push on the front towards the rear of the car and then push the front edge back in. There are tabs at the front and rear of the lens. Once it is out the bulb unplugs from the back of the lens by rotating it..

harryc, if you look at the side marker lights, they form a point at one end and have a fairly flat side on the other. What you want to do is use either a wood stick (say like a paint stir stick) or a taped up flat blade screw driver (to prevent scratching your paint). Place your flat tool against the flat part of the marker light and push towards the point. The marker light should slide about a 1/4" (maybe a little less). With it push over, gently pull the tool back towards you, pulling the flat side of the marker light out with it. Once it gets about a 1/4" away from the body of the car, you can ease up on the pressure and the marker light will be able to be pulled out of the bumper cover.
Reinstalling is easy. You will see where the pointed end has a metal clip on it. That goes in last. Take the flat end and place it against the opening and push in slightly to get the hook on the backside to grasp the bumper cover. Push things toward the flat side till you feel the hook catch then push the pointy end against the car.
