please help with clear corners

i got my set of 4 corners today and i had no problem installing them on the front of the car. now the rear sidemarkers are giving me trouble. They wont pop out. I got to finally one to pop out but the bulb housing will not firmly fit into the clear sidemarker. I line the parts up but it won't twist. The other sidemarker simply wont pop out and its driving me bonkers. I'm using a butter knife wrapped in a towel. And to add to my frustration the bulbs i bought from advance auto parts give my clears a lovely pink hue. any help in solving my bulb housing problem and removing my last sidemarker would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to buy LED 194 bulbs. TIA.

I had one rear that was a b*tch. After spraying the paremiter with wd 40 cleaning the lens so duct tape would stick, pulling on the duct tape while prying finally did it. Be careful or you will screw up your paint

The rears are on clips like the front. I think you have to push them forward and budge the clip in the rear. Try to push the marker with your hand and see which way it goes. I had to pull mine to change the bulbs and, yes, i did leave a mark on the paint. You simply can't avoid it.

But they are not that hard to pop.

Btw, try a thin flat head screwdriver instead of the wide knife.

Please tel me where you got you clear corners. I ordered mine months ago from custommaxima.com and still haven't received them. I spoke with Tyler at custommaxima.com and he said they were having vendor problems but wouldn't give me my money back.
