Default Stupidest Question Ever

Please begin the flaming now.

Here it is. Rear side light (the one in front of the rear bumper that we would all like to have clear) went out. For the life of me, I don't how to remove it and do not want to break it. Do I use a screwdriver to pry it off? Thanks.

Yes BUT be CAREFUL!! It has a tab on one end. I can't remember which end it is? You want to get under the car with a flash light and look up behind the bumper/fender. You can see which end the tab sticks out. Pry the other end out. I did not use a screw driver. I used a small nylon pry stick. It would be worthwhile to find one to avoid paint damage.

Sorry! I gave you the wrong answer! These instructions are for the small oval lights on the side of the car by the front doors. Take a look here, even has pictures!!
