Light problem?

You know those clear lights right next to the driving lights on the corners? How the heck do you remove them? I took out the screw on top, but there is something else holding them in place? If someone knows how to do this I would appreciate it, as I want to replace the white bulbs with blue ones. Thanx

The corner lamps are a pain to take out. You will have to put the mscrew driver in there and feel around for a ball and joint to fully pope it out. As your trying to pop it out of the joint pull out and towards you.

Or you can try this

Just reach in from underneath and find where the light connects to the lamp itself. It will look just like the ones on your headlights. Reach around and turn those until they come out then pull the old bulb out straight and replace the bulb. Install it the opposite of taking it out.

It is kind of a pain but doable. Also if you do the second method it may feel like your not turning them enough, thats because if it is the first time it has been unscrewed in a few years it will stick. Just keep trying.

it sucks taking those things out ... when they do actually come out it'll feel like you broke the light ... not the best feeling in the world
