Grab the light fixture and push it towards the back of the car (it might be the front of the car, but I'm pretty sure it's the back). Once you've pushed it all the way (one way or the other) you can pull that side out of the hole, and then the whole thing will come off of the panel. Unplug the wiring harness and make sure it doesn't fall back into the fender or you'll regret it later.

Are the lights you're getting off ebay a full replacement, or just bulbs?

would it be safer to take off the fender rather than pushing on the light fixture, it seems if your put to much pressure something might break or something else bad, cuz i have the same question

Tracker, the light fixture is designed to come off that way.... you're not forcing anything. On one side of the light mount there's a little notch that grabs the side of the hole in the fender. On the other side is a plastic clip. When you slide the turn signal you're compressing that clip and getting the sheet metal out of the notch, then the whole thing comes out.

Eastcoaster, again are you planning on putting new bulbs in them, or replacing them with a different light mount? The reason I ask is because the turn signal is a self contained unit and the only way to replace the bulb is to cut open the housing and then glue it back together.
