Default Looking for suggestions for sidemarker ease of removal...

Bought clear sidemarkers and see how they are "spring-loaded" on the front side - however they are difficult to remove. Is there a trick? The owners manual mentions nothing on these. I don't want to break anything. Any help appreciated.<p>98.5 A4QMS2.8 Avant

Default Here is what I did...

I used a small flat blade screwdriver to pop out the rearward side of the lens. Putting a towel between the fender and the screwdriver, then using the screwdriver to push forward and pry out. The lense popped right out. Pry from the rear.<br>

Default From front here (sounds like some are different?)...

I found them very easy to pop out from the front. Like below, I use a credit card that I slid from the front, pushing back on the tab. Then they just pulled out from the front.<p>Tom<br>1.8TQMS Silver/Ecru

This sounds like the removal method for the corner-markers, not the side markers.
