    Default What are these called?

    I have these, but what are they for. Do they light up, cause mine haven't lit up since i had them or Are they just reflectors?

    Also, im having trouble removing them. INFO ON THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TOO!

    they light up, are generally known as marker lights and pry out, but they are easy to break so it's better to push them out from the back side, but if you are at the back side it's just as easy to give the socket a 1/4 turn and pop out the bulb

    oooo, egg yokes, get rid of em, those amber colored lenses have been the cause of many a ugly looking cars. Euro trim is a must, then get yourself some clear corners and some euro tails. BTW if there not lighting up thats good, you want to draw as little attention to those as possible.
