I bought zenon 1157 bulbs to replace my cornering lights, but how do you take the light out? I took out the screw on both sides and tried prying it out with a screw driver like the manual says, but it isnt coming more than halfway out and i dont want to crack the lense. I already searched, any suggestions?

 

search harder, a loottt of people ask about this. but always, i answer. there is also a small metal nub that is held in to a socket. youll have to try and look and see it, it holds pretty fast so before you keep prying, try to get a hold of that one and work with it. i chipped a piece of my light back in the day-

 

If your talking about the lamp housing, try popping out the side closest to wheel well. Looking down behind the housing, you'll see a ball joint connection between the housing and car. Take the end of a flat head screwdriver and pry it into the connection. Turn the screwdriver about 1/4 or 1/2 a turn, should pop out. Check out
Maximadriver.com, Cheston's got directions in his "how2" section.
Hope this helps.

 

before getting it with the screwdriver, it helped me to get some wd40 on it.

 

there's like a single prong way inside.....you MUST pop it out from there.....its really tight so becareful.....i cracked one of my corners....use like a fork like looking tool...it shouldnt be a prob

 

Do it the way i do it. Get behind the actual corner light and twist off the actual light bulb socket.

 

The corner light housing is held on by a small Philips head screw at the top (open hood to access) and by a male stud on the housing that pushes into a plastic receiver in the metal frame of the car. The stud pushes in directly sideways, not fore-and-aft. Once the screw is removed, carefully pry the front end of the lens housing out to the side -- it will be tight, but it WILL come out eventually. I use mostly my fingers and/or a wooden paint-stir stick to spread the force and avoid cracking the lens. Most damage occurs because drivers try to pull out on the REAR of the lens, which is held in place by a tab on the housing that slips longitudinally into a slot in the frame, so it will NEVER pull out the side! Or, they try to force the housing FORWARD, thinking the stud on the housing inserts longitudinally. WRONG! The stud and housing should be pried out SIDEWAYS at the front of the lens.

 

Good thing you helped out here, he's been wanting an answer for the past 8 years.....

 

Wow raycer, just...wow.
