you need to do this during the day. once you take off the screw with some force pull the the light towards you but not to hard. Once you do that you should notice the light is also connected into a socket(it's all the way on the bottom of the light, just focuse and you'll see it) take a flat head screw driver and put it in between the socket and pry it while adding pressure on the light and pulling it. Hope this helps

When you go to put the lights back on, smear a little grease on the sockets.
They'll come off a lot easier next time.

you have to pull them out sort of in the direction towards the front of the vehicle. after that philips screw there's a tab in the back that keeps the light in the side and then a ball and socket type joint that makes it hard to pull out.

you have to take it out @ an angle ..... dont screw up and break the tab or it will be hanging on "by a thread."

it takes a bit of force, don't worry about manhandling those lights.

Thanks..... for all the help guys i was really busy so i could of not answer you guys. So that corner lens was a pain in *$$ to get it out took lots of strength to take it and i noticed that it was the lens also connected to the fender so you had to slant it and yank it in diffrent angles then popped it out of the joint. thanks guys..
