How To Remove Corner Light!?!?

I got some new bulbs I want to put in for my corner lights (clearance lights). I can't figure out how to take the actual light out get the bulb out. Anyone have tips on how they did it? Didn't want to break it so I thought I'd ask before I try again.

It has one screw... take the screw off and pull that b!tch out... theres nothing else holding it except a small metal snub which you have to pop out by pulling on the entire light

You have to pull as if you're going to break it. There is a small chance that you will break it also because that mother is in there.

Just like others said, only one screw and you have to pull pretty hard to get it out. I tried the WD-40 thing with no luck. Just pull the sucker out. On the right one the plastic actually broke and the little pin thing was still the corner of the car. Got it out with pliers and super glued it back on to the corner light. No problems.....until I have to take it out again......

I took mine to the dealer cuz mine would not come out.

They broke it.

They would not give me a new one. They fixed the plastic with some epoxy or something though.

I just kinda pulled up to the repair dept. I did not pay anything for them to look at it.

I probably could have pressed the issue and got a new one. I did get the services manager.

I did not even get my max from them haha.
