I bought these from ECS. Not too happy with the fitment. Ha to sand the edges off some to make them fit better and still they stick out few mm and not completely flush with the bumper.

Which side of the marker do you pop out first? Are the tabs on both sides? do you use the credit card trick? I tried a little, but didnt want to force anything.
Thanks for your responses!

each marker has metal clip on one side and a plastic longer tab on the other
the metal clip is on the REAR of the car side
thats the side that needs to be leveraged out 1st
the trick is not to break the metal clip... it needs to be squeezed so it can clear the bumper
if it catches the bumper as u remove it the clip will fold back onto itself and most likely break or weaken becoming unusable
look at the replacement one ... it will help u know how the original one looks on the inside of bumper
maybe a small screwdriver will work better then a credit card.. not sure but the trick is to get to the back side of the metal and squeeze it so it clears the bumper

If you are still having trouble, carefully pull the fog light cover off and give the side marker a push out. I believe both sides have a metal tab.
