Bumper Clear Lens (4 lens total) replacement

How do the original (yellow) bumper lens on a 1996 Maxima remove? Do they pop-out or have to be removed from the rear.

After removal of the original lens (4 each) do the replacement clear lens
pop-in or require access from the rear for installation of screws/bolts etc?

Any suggestions on brand / supplier?

Thanks

Check ebay, the "Other For Sale" forum, and if you're willing to shell out a little extra, there are some Nissan parts suppliers online. Can't think of any off the top of my head right now, but someone on here knows.

As for the process of changing them. Read your owner's manual, NEWB!

Are you talking about taking out the orange turn signal covers out? If so, it's real easy. Put a cloth onto a flathead screwdriver (so nothing scratches) and put the screwdriver where the 2 pieces meet. Pry the smaller piece out first. From there, it's obvious what to do.

Replacing Yellow lens with Clear

After I Pop the yellow lens out and replace the white light bulb with a yellow one then the new clear lens is installed by pressure (pushing it in)? Correct?

correct, make sure they hold in tight. When I put in my clears (ebay) i forgot that the OEM black plastic thing that you push the lense into is bigger than it should be, and the lense was dangling when I was driving. It came with a new white plastic piece, that you put in there, so the lense sits firmly.
