The little ones on the fender? Just use a small screwdriver and pry them out. If you mean the arch lights on the trim, they have a self tapping screw that is a PITA to remove. I broke mine and just glued it back in.

If you pop the hood you can slip your hand in behind the side markers and push. That with the screw driver like hemihead18 says should do it. It took me a while to get mine out, but they are friction fit into a rubber grommet.


Once they come out they come apart into several pieces, which is handy if you are planning on painting them.
