it's gonna be tough cause there is a guide that fits into a rubber grommet and thats what makes it so difficult. when I took mine off, I wore latex gloves to give me a little more grip on the lens since you can't really grab onto any part of it, you just have to make sure your hands are clean(at least not greasy) and lay your fingers over the lens w/your fingers pointing towards the rear of the car, your body up front of course. And apply pressure in a southwest direction, that way you get the forward pull you need to get it out and the sideways pull which helps you grip the lens better. I hope that helps.

I used a cloth, wedged the screw driver in between the fender and the light and pried em off.

Unscrew it and pull it from the end really hard.

Not if you take your time and be careful.
