Hi peeps, I'm back again with my silly questions Can anyone tell me how to replace the wing indicator lenses as I've looked all over the Internet looking for answers but found nothing and don't really want to be popping them out via the outside if that is the wrong way about it and scratching the paint.

pretty sure they do just pop off, just have to be careful doing so.

You can't JUST replace the side indicator lenses only,you need to change all of it,and if you are worried about having a scratch while having them off,take the wheel liner off,and you will have a very easy access to them,and only will take a min. to replace them.

Thanks timon2210 think taking the wheel liner out is a better option for me.... Patience isn't one of my strong points and will probably end up doing damage

I've always just slid a blunt knife behind to pop in the clip and it will pop out, done it several times with no scratches.

Just open the doors and use a screwdriver to unclip them from the back.

This^^^
Or you can get a small flat blade screw driver, put electrical tape over the end so it doesn't scratch & pop them out.

If I pop the side clip nearest ( from inside ) I'm guessing it will be free enough to pull the rest out ? Also if I decide the exterior option I'm guessing I havnt looked wrong and it's a side clip rather than top/bottom ?

Mine had only one clip and it was located rearwards, facing the door.
With the door open I used a bamboo flower stick (~3/8" diameter) to reach in and press on the clip, angling it so it was also putting a little pressure outwards on the whole assembly.
