The sockets should twist out from the inside of the fender. Usually a 90 degree counter clockwise turn.

Should just twist out. Here's a view of a 72 side marker from the back:

Well did ya get to the bulb yet..you have to remove the front grill to get to the socket then do the twist thing..I think they are 97 bulbs..find them anywhere ..buy the long life bulbs as they are more work than they should be to change again..
