Rear corner lamp removal?

I wish they'd start taking donations again so I could search....

Can anyone point me to a way to remove my rear corner lamps that doesn't involve shoving a wrapped screwdriver behind the lamp and scratching the paint, I've tried that already : ( .

Thanks.

if you use a small flathead....you don't have to shove or pry, just stick it gently in the gap at the back end of the lens and gently push toward the front of the car and put a little pressure outward. the lens has a little spring clip that holds it in...I've removed it several times without scratching anything. Just make sure you are using a SMALL flathead, not a normal size one....it'll fit fine into the gap without scratching the paint...

In the back, I know of no other way. The front you can attack from below or above. Use a very small screwdriver wrapped in a cloth and take it slow. Be sure the screwdriver is inserted fairly deep - I chipped my rear lens when trying to remove it and had to replace it.
