Removal of bumper lights

I received my clear bumper lights the other day, but am yet to install them because every "How-To" seems to skip the part where they actually remove the old orange housing. Do I need to work from under the vehicle for this? From under the hood? They they slide out?

just take a flathead and pry out the smaller orange lens(the one closest to the fenders) from the middle of the two it should just pop out then youll see the other lens has a screw take that out and everything else is easy

No, but how hard can this be?
If you can wipe your azz you can take out corner lights w/out asking how.

It's not hard. I know that. But there are some things that people just don't know how to do.

Damn, chill out. I installed my GenII Altezzas with no problem. I just didn't want to use the flathead method because I know how delicate the housings can be. Thanks for the replies, though! I'm going outside now

I sincerely appreciate your willingness to help out. Turns out it took me literally less than 5 minutes for all four. Unfortunately I didn't get the DC ones, but these will do for now. They definitely look alot better than the orange ones, at least on my car. Now all I need is to replace all these yellow bulbs. I might need your help on some other things though, if you'd still be willing to help. I'll let you know!
