Hey guys, i just got some clear side guard indicators for my 1997 TE and was wondering how i would go about replacing the orange ones with my clear ones as i have no idea how to do it, do they just pop out or are they bolted from the back?? Any help would be greatly appreciated as i don't really want to destroy them while trying to get them off/on....
Cheers

From memory, they have a clip at the front of them that may need to be pushed in....
Maybe try using a plastic knife or something?
I put a bit of cloth around the front then used a flat bladed screw driver to push on the clip under the front of the indicator. One just popped off perfect, the other I forced a bit and it cracked but still came off. Then it's undo the electrical side and plug it back in.
To put back on, push the back side in first, then a bit of pressure on the front side and it will click into place.

just push them forward and pull them off, probably the easiest mod for the magna :D just push them towards the front of the car, unclip the wire, connect it to new one and slide back in

This is a tool-less operation, by looking at the new clear ones it should be easy to work out how they come off.
Push the back to the front and pull out, to refit back in first, then push in. Just checked on my car ;)

Like shoot said, slide it forward and pull the back end out. Easy as piss.

Oops! Did it so long ago now, can't remember if you push front to back or back to front. I bow to the others who say back to front.
