I would like to remove the side indicators. Any tips to remove them without making damage to the body?

When i did mine i used a small flat bladed screwdriver, put some rag under the driver and slowly prize it out, they do pop out easy.

i just pulled mine out with my hands, no problems.

They slide out towards the back of the car i think

if your putting the same ones back in remeber this point: if your having trouble pulling them out dont go for brut force your probably doin it the wrong way, try the other way. i learnt the hard way and snapped the back off my crystal clears when i was puttin the clear bulbs in, be warned.
