Default how to remove bumper side lights??

One of the bulbs on the front bumper is not working.
How can I remove the orange lens to get to the bulb?
Afraid to pull it on my own in order not to break it.
Car is phase2.
Thanks in advance

Small, flat headed screw driver on either the right or left hand end of the light. It depends on the individual light for which end of the light needs prying. Then the build rotates a distance then pop pulls out.

Start at the fatter end, there should be a small recess for prying it out with. One end is slightly larger than the other, I believe the larger end is the bit you pry on and the smaller end is the end which slots into the bumper first.

I don't have to do it hard on my car so if it isn't going easily, stop and try the other end.
