I'm honestly not sure if ours was a bit looser or what, you just give it good pressure on the clip then pop it out. I personally did it, didn't take a whole lot to pop them. Sorry, we certainly would have covered it if it was that hard, but it just didn't take much on our car. :shrug:

Anyway, thanks for the video and tip!
I wonder how many times you guys removed and installed them. I imagine it's something that gets looser the more you do it.

That said, the oem clips on mine were extremely tight. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong (I may have), but even squeezing on the point with the most leverage with pliers still took a bit of force. Then again, that's been my experience with most of the stuff I've installed and uninstalled on the mustang. Everything is always twice as hard as videos make it out to be.

On the driver side my wire is so short that it's impossible to get the socket in a position to plug-in the side marker has to be done from the inside another almost impossible task. I'm actually waiting for a replacement for the driver side because it fits so loosely it blinks and then just goes out.

So, I have one with the incandescent and one with the LED...I must admit the LED light looks awesome.
Also had the same experience. There was absolutely no slack in the plug to both plug it in, and slide the sidemarker assembly in. I slid the sidemarker in, and then plugged in from under the car... and then when I verified that it worked, then I pushed on the clip to clip it in.

I even tried tugging on the wire for some more slack, but I was afraid I was going to rip the connector off instead.

It wasn't anything on your part, it's Ford's fault! Haha! I was actually going off of CJ Pony Parts video. He did mention the pliers method in his video, which I didn't try. Screwdriver works best for me, but others have been able to just use their hand. Probably does vary by the car. But, either way, once you get the LED's in, they look fantastic! So, kudos to you for an awesome product! And thanks for taking the time to check out my video!

I found that pushing against the marker from the outside gave me just the leverage I needed to pop mine free.

Sorry I haven't watched the video, I don't have very good internet right now being in the middle of the ocean.
