Side light thingys

How do you remove the strips on the side of the car where the side light thingys are, although i do not have them on mine as it's uk spec.
I think they're called rubbing strips and are held on with four? white clips things. can't seem to get them off tho.

Thanks for any help.

from the outside. take a flat-head screwdriver, pry off the edges til you can fit the screwdriver through and pull slowly til it comes out.
