GRRRR.. .. any tips for me?? before I have a heart attack of my car being chipped ? PLEASE help thanks ..

are you trying to take it off from the middle, not the end?
also use a rag under your screwdriver to protect the paint

I tried to take it off from the right side end.. and I am using a rag .. I don't know what's wrong..

I had the same problem with mine. Sometimes it is easier to try it from the other end. You would think it is easier to go for the end with the spring end but it wasn't the case for me on the rear markers.

Hope this helps.

how to install clears

Try going from the end that doesn't have the spring clip on it (I think it is towards the front of the car). Using a small flat blade screw driver slowly ease it in behind the marker. At this point I was able to pull the lense out with my fingers. The further you can get the screw driver behind the lense without chipping the paint the easier it will be to remove.
