Three Wheelin'
I remember a thread or two that these were not as easy to install as advertised.

My salesman took the boxes from me and installed them in front of me while we were talking, he popped the back out and pulled the lights out, wish I could tell you more but I was crawling around the car setting things

Finally got my clear side markers today.
I found a youtube video showing how to install them. I tried the same and could not get them removed. Any suggestions?
I pressed on the front pushing it to the back. Nothing. I could get the back to pop up a little by pulling out at the end in the wheel well, but could not get it to 'release'.
Was hoping to avoid a trip to the dealer.

Stopped by my Porsche dealer and picked up the alligator clips for the charge-o-mat pro. While there the parts manager explained how to install the side markers.
Push from front to back while slightly raising the very front point of the light. Wedge something underneath the very front point (I used a closepin) and gently pry up while pushing back on the light. Voila out it pops. Install is very simple, place the light in, pressing front to back (to compress the retaining clip and then press the front down and in.
To disconnect the light wire, press down on the small black clip on the connector and pull back. The connector will slide off. Just insert the new one and press it closed.
