There is a little "indentation" on the driver's side of the license marker housing (outlined in red in the first picture). Put a small flathead screwdriver in there and carefully push down and to the right at the same time. The housing should pop down out of place . The more it's removed, the easier it becomes to remove. Notice how the edge around mine is all chewed up .

Sweet this is just what I needed as I searched the internet for answers. Heh I like the 2003 way better. Thanks for this!
