Lighting and spoiler question

Hey guys, well i wanna make the entire front clear so i was wondering how do i change the yellow part on the headlight? also there's no screw on the sidemarker right? how do i change those? Also if i change the side, would it light up yellow? hah no money for bulbs yet.

Also im looking for a spoiler for the max, anyone know where i can find a stock one or something little better? im looking for one painted already so stock i guess, i need sterling mist, so any sites will help

Thanks again

www.factorywings.com $99 unpainted or $200 painted if I remember correctly.

The headlight bulb is an EASY swap out. All it is is a bulb- I can't remember the number......

The sidemarkers are a little more complicated- but still very easy. You have to pry them out VERY carefully. Use a flathead screwdriver and cover it with a towel so as not to scratch your paint. You will have to buy new bulbs, although my recommendation is to use no bulbs at all. They look cheesy in my opinion. The red looks pink. The ambe rlooks yellow. And the illegal hyper white ones don't match the headlights. Just leave the bulbs empty for a while if you have to.

The bulb is an 1157 dual filament. All you do is twist it to get it out. Go to www.5thgenmaximas.com for a nice write-up on the side markers. With the bulbs that are in there the light would look yellowish, but you can get orange and red 194/168 bulbs from any auto place and use those for the time being. They are cheap also.

For real? Ahh crap. Thats odd. Russ give up on it? Oh well, basically do what ASU said, use a towel with a flathead and pry it out from the inside of both lights (side towards the middle of the car) and they should pop right out.
