Default Removing rear marker lights and front blinkers!

What is the best way to remove the rear marker lights on the side of the rear bumper? Planning on giving them a little bath in VHT Niteshade after work today but can't seem to find a HOW-TO or removing them or how to get behind them in the first place...

**edit** got the rear corners out easily and now trying to get the blinkers out, what is the trick?

Any help is appreciated!

get a flat head screw driver and softly pry from the rear side of the marker light towards the front of the car and towards yourself (at that angle)...the side marker just has liek a clip design towards the rear of it that holds it is....gl!

I got the rear taillights finished about 5 minutes ago, the rear corner marker lights done and going to do the front blinkers tomorrow after work...I'll get some pics when the whole task is completed! I just followed the how-to on these forums!

1) turn the wheel all the way to the left or right
2) remove screws from wheel well liner (i think 3 screws?)
3) crack the wheel liner back and you should get access to the turn signals
4) the turn signals are held in place by two clips on top and bottom (i think i honestly dont remember)
