Use your strength to pop them out. Suggestion... use a screwdriver and put a towel over it. Pry the reds and replace with the clears.

Believe it or not it tells you in the Maxima Owners Manual on page 8-29.

i installed it yesterday and it popped out. gotta be careful w/ the bumper though because even though the manual says use a screwdriver, when you're about to try it, you'll end up going "they want me to fit a screwdriver where?!... no space!"... i just kinda forced it in and held my breath. it came out easier on the other side once you figure it out, but it's easy to leave small "dents" from your efforts, so be cautious. just glad it's over! 8)
