I was just wanting to know to see if it needs to be cleaned or not. fordguy101

wow, this is the first time i have ever heard of a ford cavalier !!!! just messin with ya !! anyways, i have never seen any that wont just pop off. sometimes you will have to use a very thin screwdriver, or pocketknife remove them. how long have you owned the car? some people actually like the colored lamps, and i was thinking that if you havent had it long, someone in the past may have switched the lamp out. good luck.

wow I thought nobody would reply lol. We have had it since fall 2003 was it an option or what?? fordguy101

it could have been an option possibly. are you the first owner, and has it been green the whole time? sometimes as the lamp gets older, they will start to develop a shade inside, from the heat. that could maybe appear green when shining through the plastic lens. btw, did you get the lens to pop off?

no I am not the first owner. And it has been green the whole time. And no I havn't been able to get it off. fordguy101
