Hi there

The easy way is to get a flat screwdriver, preferably with a wide blade and push the retaining part in from the bottom IIRC. Use a thick soft rag against your paintwork so you don't scratch it and the others just pry out. Dead easy. Sounds complicated but you'll see what I mean when you do it.

If you have any more worries PM me and I'll dig my old ones out and take some pics for ya.

Dan.

Sang was after changing the horrible corner markers off his bug eye, but the side repeaters on a 95 should be the same, only fixed in one side, you have to get a screwdriver behind it to push the little clip in, then it should pop out.

Like I said make sure you use a good thick rag or something so you don't damage your paintwork!!!

no screwdriver needed, push it upwards slightly , feels spring loaded and the bottom will come out followed by the top. easy.
