Dam it!!! I broke one of my clearance light housing!! How do you pop that off?
#1
The manual shows that you only have to remove one screw to pop the clearance light case. It wouldnt come out, so I forced it and it came out but it was held by 2 screws! The plastic part that holds the second screw is now broken.. IN the process I chipped off about a half inch on the corner. I was trying to pry it off.
that was the left one. The other one would not come off no matter how hard I try to pry it off. It is night right now so I can't see how the 2nd screw is attached.
How the hell do I take the clearance light housing off?

There is so second screw. Are you referring to the "ball and socket" type that is holding the light in. All you have to do is undo the screw on top, and then take a flat head screwdriver, wrap a towel around it, and pry out the clearence light at the bottom of the clearence light. It should pop right out.

Re: yup. Is it the ball socket? It was too dark I couldnt tell.

Just take your time and do it, it won't break housing (even it feels like it will break any sec).

What you need is a long blade screwdriver and a flash light->
Take the one screw off on the top. Pry between the headlight and the corner light a little with your hand so you can see down to the ball and socket thingy. Shine the flash light down there so you can see better. Now stick that 1 foot long screw driver down from above and wedge the flat blade in between the ball and the socket. Now, twist the screwdriver and pull the side with your hand at the same time. The thing should be free with little effort. Work smarter, not harder.
