Default Installing corner/turn signal lamps. . . .

Bought my smoked Pro Car Parts turn signals and I'm trying to put them in now. Easy enough to get unbolted, but I cannot figure out how to wiggle the stock suckers out without screwing up the paint. I removed the headlight for easier access. Anything else I should unbolt? Do not tell me I have to remove the bumper cover to get them out.

There's 3 fastners holding the light in. Did you get all 3 out? Other than that they should come right out. Look at the new ones and you can see where the fastners will be on the car.

I got all three of the fasteners off, but the suckers are so big they won't come out the front, and they won't come out the back either because of the way they are angled in there.

I'm trying to remember what I did to get them out. I know I had to mess with them a little but I didn't scratch the paint. If you're worried about the paint get out the masking tape and tape off all the painted area around the light so you don't scratch it.

You take them out from the inside. Pull the outer edge of the light up while pulling the bumper away.
