    Fender trim removal

    I am starting to get my car ready for paint and am doing most of the prep work. I have the side trim off but not the piece on the fender that has the light in it. Anyone that has removed this and would like to share how. I would prefer not to break anything or as little as possible in this process.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply guys. Got it out, is e46. I had the side vents out and I could feel in there but it was much tighter than the other moldings. After finding a video on changing out the lights I was able to pop the lights out and then you can remove the trim in the same manner as the other pieces. The light is actually secured to the fender so it holds the trim even tighter. All good on this one. Thank you!
