there are pictures in your freaking owners manual! geez...just take some time to look in there....sorry if i sound like a total @$$ but it really isn't that hard to install clear corners and a new thread definitely isn't needed....look in your owners manual...they show where you should insert the screwdriver or whatever and show what they look like when they're popped out...

for the front ones you will have to remove the lower splash guard on the car (attached to the bumper) then stick you hand into the bumper and push them out. they will be to tight to just take a screwdriver and pop them out.
for the rear one you can use a screwdriver and carefully pop them out, while trying not to damage the paint.

Its not rocket science. Instead of a screwdriver, I used a butterknife with a paper towel around it because it was a little wider than a screwdriver and thin so it slid very easily behind the light.

I don't think you're supposed to "pry", but more like push it towards the ends of the car (push towards front end for the front markers, back end for the back markers) and it will pop out. I've done mine tons of times now; on and off for inspections, and they always come out nicely w/o any prying at all.
