Default Front SS corner markers removal!!!

I just VHT'ed my tails and love the look on my RED SS. I am now wanting to to do the 3rd brake light and the front corner markers on either side of the bumper cover. The 3 tailight is so easy it is stupid but I have spent a few times out in the Street trying to get those front corners out but I just cant get them. Do I have to remove the headlights in order to remove them?

I found the 3 bolts to remove and that isnt to bad....bout 5 mins per light, then I try my very hardest to get them to pop outa place. They almost seem unable to pop out the front so I tried removing them from the back....but there is a little plastic tab that sticks up in the way and makes it impossible to come out that way as well!!! Could somebody help me out? Thanks guys!!

you can try getting to them from the bottom, remove that black cover from the bottom of the car. if you still can't get it you could always remove the bumper cover completely

Ive had my marker lights out a bunch of times. I found it easier to just remove the head lights everytime than crawling on the ground lol.
