alright, here is how you can change out your rear turn signals...it is fairly easy

take a standard single filament twist in style bulb (if you want red, the bulb has to be really really dark or else it shines out purple)...anyways, use a chisel or a flathead screwdriver to chisel off one of the "nipples" that stick out (a.k.a. the prongs)...there are two on this bulb...one at the 12 oclock position and one at 6...on our stock bulb, there is one at about 12 and 4...alright, now you need to be careful when chiseling off that little nipple...you can just take the top of the metal off and push the rest against the bulb...i have broken many bulbs by chiseling too close

alright, the prong that you need to saw off has nothing to do with anything electrical and its only purpose is to hold the bulb in place...since our bulbs go deep enough in, we only need the one and it won't fall out...sorry i can't have pictures but i don't have a digi cam.

any questions just reply to this post and i'll get back to you
