Its in your manual... push the housing towards the back of the car, not using the "thin" part. Remember you're sliding first, not prying... when ya slide it over enough, it should just pop out with a little prying...

I figured as much.... manual? No, last time someone mentioned that, they were told it was in violation of copyright laws to allow such a link on the .org... I did see someone selling one in the 5th Gen Classifieds forum though....

Glad that it worked out for ya...

I scratched the paint the first time I did it because I tried prying from both ends... I didn't trust the manual and learned the hard way....

Oh yeah... and that's

what lights do u guys use, i put in red and amber lights for now, id rather do the polarg m4s but i dun want cops to yell

you can usually get away with anything in philly anyway

i was thinking maybe the m4 hyper white in the front, and leave red in the back, they dont like white in the back becuz it interferes with reverse lights

If you wanna "Safely" remove the side lenses, go to:

...definately safer without the hassle of scratching or breaking anything. Also, I would definately get the Polarg M4 bulbs, a bit pricy for the bulbs, but looks HOT!!
