It's much easier than you think. I have a plastic pry tool set that I bought from Amazon for a few dollars, but you can use a flathead screwdriver. All you need to do is shove it in from the bottom between the light and the door panel and push to get it out. It should pop out pretty easy.



Results in this awesomeness!

They look like this one, but I'm not sure.

Those look just like the ones I bought.
Did you have to remove grey box that was Behind the original lights? That grey cover doesn't fit into the new lights. It looks like the cover protects the electrical components so if something inside the door fell off, it won't short out.

These are the ones I bought, there are two lights in each package not one.

Some have circles around the Lexus name and L symbol, and others don't have the circle. Also, some are all white, and some have a color (e.g. orange).
