Default removing parking light assembly...HELP!!!

I was able to reach the 2 small screws & unscrew them but then I couldnt remove the lights toward me thru the front bumper...does it remove from the back behind the bumper?? Do I pull up on them?? This simple job is turning into a knuckle scraping pain in the a**

lol, it will take you awhile but you really have to force them out, you might even chip em on the edge, they dont come out the front, out the back is where you need to force em out.

First unscrew the bolt that is holding the headlights onto the bracket. Slide the headlights toward the center of the car to remove them from the bracket. You can place them out of the way with the wiring still connected.
Remove the 3 screws from the turn signal assemblies.
CAREFULLY slide end of the assemblies (the side towards the outside of the car) up and out of the fenderwell. Once you do that you should be in the clear.
