How to remove front turn signal housings?

I ordered a set of black turn signal housings, and just wanted to know the procedure for removing the stock amber ones?

Thanks in advance, everyone!

Honestly, remove the bumper cover. Thers is only 4-6 bolts from under the hood and the inner fender spalsh gaurds. I done mine in line 15 minutes.

+1 pull the bumper cover. It's pretty simple. Just make sure you have lots of soft blankets under it so you don't scuff it up. Each light is held on with a single screw if I remember correctly, but is removed from behind the cover.

it can be done w/ out removal of the bumper cover... remove three tabs on the inside of wheel wells, pull black liner back, there are no screws just lock tabs. push w/ thumb and the light assembly will pull free. of course pull both side marker bulbs out from the fixture.

That's how I did mine. I went ahead and took the wheels off so I had more room to work, but it was a piece of cake.

From the seller "AtomicStreet" on ebay. $45 for the pair He has them in black clear and black smoked. I went with clear so it would match the headlights better.

I'll post pics for you when I install them (probably tomorrow)
