in the owners manual it says to take off 1 screw on top, ok i did it, then place cloth between headlight and clearance light and place a screwdriver in to pry the light out. i tried it but it is very hard. is there only 1 screw? the top of the clearance light seems to be loose but the bottom is stuck like supaglue. so how do i get it off?

I had this prob before. If you look at the inside lower half of hte light, you see a ball and socket joint, thats what holding it in. Now all you have to do is stick a flat headed screw driver in and turn it. that should force the socket out. And the light should then come out easily.

You can try spraying wd40 on the ball and socket which might help.

Just make sure...

That you spray some WD-40 on the ball & socket joint.
It makes popping those lights out a lot easier.
