Corner light installation help

I need some help on removing the corner lights so i can put in the clear ones i got at the junkyard for like $10. After i removed the top screw they just kindof popped out. But on my maxima i have to remove top screw but i dont know how to get the the lower screw to remove it. Any help on how to remove it would be appreciated.

Other spoils from the Junkyard:
Working Clock
Hood
Red Grille
White Hood (getting painted red soon)
Hood struts that held the white hood up but don't seem to hold my red hood up for more that 5 seconds.

Another question, about how much paint would I need to paint the hood? And where abouts would I purchase the Red maxima paint?

If anyone needs stuff from a White 1990 GXE it has just about everything. Pretty nice condition just no tires.

hmm you push the ball/knuckle into the headlight, and then screw in the top screw.

I got them out but the wiring harness is stuck on the corner light. What is the bulb size of that tiny light? I couldnt get the harness off either side.

twist the thing around, it should then pull out.

if you need bulbs, just go to wherever you get bulbs(autozone) use their book or electronic book and look it up. take in the bulb with you.

The smaller bulb is 194, but I think that's what disgruntled meant.

I dont remember anywhere stating i couldnt remove bulbs. But to keep flamers away i was just confused about whether the corner lense had 2 screws to get it out or 1 and a ball/knuckle joint. whatever, thanks for the bulb sizes.

well you did say you couldnt get the harness of the corner light, and the harness is connected to the bulb......so can you see why people would think you couldnt remove a bulb?

anyway, next time you got a hard job to do like removing a light, you should probably take it in to a mechanic. They are professionals.

I broke my clip thingy on my drivers side. I said screw it. To tell you the truth It doesn't even pop out. What's it there for?
