Question How to remove rear sidemarker lights?

Hi Folks,

One of my rear sidemarker lights is out (red one on side of the car). Doesn't seem like the lenses can be pryed off...anyone have a service manual with directions on how to replace/remove these things?

Any help greatly appreciated! Peace.

i had a mental lapse. both are out....are they really reflectors?...i could have sworn they go on with the parking lights...can you (or anyone with a 1st gen) please confirm this for me? maybe i am just used to seeing them lit on accords and preludes.

i have a 96 model but don't think that rear reflector/sidemarker should be any different from yours.

This really is bugging me. Thanks for any info.

pretty sure they are reflector. i have seen people take accord clear corners and put them back there and stick a light bulb in there and run it to the parking light. if you really want light that how to do it

Jmai is right. They're only reflectors. I have a 95 GS.
