Take off the arch liner and put hand up behind it and should be able to remove.

aparently if you push it then pull they can come out but ive heard it can snap the back part that keeps it held in


edit. sorry thought you were talking about sode repeaters.

iirc i just pulled my sidelights out. but could be wrong been a while since i did it

Are you squeezing the two tabs in then pulling?
