Fender Lens Cracked
My fender "flare" light is cracked on the rear driver's side. I got the light/lens in the mail today from MiniMania, and of course, I cannot find instructions anywhere. I was able to get the bulb out, but I can't figure out how to get the lens off of the car. And MiniMania doesn't have directions either.
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I figured I'll put the instructions on here just in case this happens to anyone else. This is how I replaced my fender flare light. I did the rear driver's side, I'm guessing it's the same for the other lights too.
1.) Remove the tire.
2.) Remove at least one of the plastic rivets of the inner fender lining nearest to the light (I removed 2).
3.) Unplug the light.
4.) Pull off the lock nut on the plastic stem next to the plug on the light, or just break the stem off if you don't have anymore use for the lens.
5.) Pull the light from the outside of the car.
6.) Put the new lens in it's place, and put the lock nut on the new plastic stem.
7.) Plug it back in.
8.) Put the fender lining and rivets back on.
9.) Put the tire back on.
A lot easier than I thought it would be, but it still took some time. I'm just happy I don't have a big cracked light on the side of my car anymore.
Hopefully this helps someone at some point.
