Front Corner Lights - How do you get them out?

I am trying to replace my lights with a set of Lexus style clear ones and am having trouble getting the originals out.
When I replaced the rear ones I just prized the first part out with a flat screwdriver. When I tried that on the front they only moved a little and I was worried about snapping something.
Any suggestions appreciated.

That's exactly how you do it, except I use a cloth wrapped around a flathead to avoid scratching them. Pry off the reflector part first (nearest the wheel) by pulling it back towards the fender as you pry, then the corner should come right out of the bumper with little effort after that.

the whole set come off. don't try to take the small part off. take the under body panel off enough for you to reach your hand under it and push the light out from the inside. with your other hand on the outside. pull at the same time and the whole thing should pop out really easy. and when you ready to install it back. do the same way.

Pull the small lens out towards you. Just as RePete said. It will come out at a angle. Pretty easy.

Took me 5 seconds also. To each his own Also make sure you replace the little square knob lock. It's right behind the small lens.
