Replace side turn signal

[joll]

Before I try to remove the side turn signal and replace the bulb with Silver Vision 194.
How do I remove the cover on the turn signal?
Will it pop-out if I try to bend with a screwdriver...

Yup just pop it off (carefully!) with a flat blade screwdriver.

Thanks!

Do you also know how to remove the rear lights (brake and turn signal)?

Assuming you want to replace the whole unit and not just the bulb.
Just 3 nuts on the inside of the taillights hold them in place.

Oh yea? Well I just snap my fingers and my side turn signals come off

I assumed he was asking about the lens...if you want the whole thing off, yea, it just slides backwards.

I only want to replace the bulb and it pop-out with a screwdriver.
The rear turn signal replacement to Silver Vision will be done later this week

I didn't find any information about this on www.xoutpost.com
Maybe something that's going to be added?
