Need some help please?

What is the best or easiest way to remove the chrome surround piece on a 2013 fender blinker lights? I see replacement ones in CF and flat black. I wanted gloss black and a friend is having some parts painted so he asked me to give him mine and he will have them shot for me. I just dont want to damage them so any help, hints, or pointers will be greatly appreciated.

They pop right out. Just use a soft plastic tool to slowly work them from the edges. You will be amazed how easy this is to do. I think there are four clips (top, bottom, left, right) holding the sidemarkers in.

You think a credit card will work?
