Easy. Common misconception is to put a screwdriver in that hole and pop them out. But you have to move the entire casing to the right and then pull the left side of the casing down.
Almost like the side blinker (push back, and pull out). The entire car is held together by various kinds of pressure clips. Once you figure that out, you can basically disassemble the car

Damn, well that sucks! A set of AE HIDs would really set things off.
