Clearance light install

I know this might sound dumb to some of you, but I'm not mechanically inclined so I don't know. I just got some LEDs for my clearance lights. I can't seem to find how to get them to come of the housing. I tried pulling but I didn't want to brake anything could someone please help me out here?

you just have to be able to work your hand into that small space provided. To get to the driver's side clearance light, i had to remove the fuse box cover just to reach it, and the passenger side was fairly easy. Once you get enough space to work with, you just have to twist it to the left and pull, you'll feel when it comes loose.

I got it but my hand is all hurt up now. But this light output is great with the LED's I just might have to get super white instead of blue I think the cops might get me.

i didnt get the LEDs, i got the PIAA super plasmas, which are the equivalent to hyper whites, but they still look good, check out my cardomain website for pics: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/695690

damn those things look bright! they look pretty cool, not sure if theyre legal or not tho. im thinkin about just buyin a pair of led's to see if theyre any better than what ive got, i was lookin on autoillumination.com and they run for about 5.99 a pair for the 5 led-style lights, which is much better than what i paid for the PIAAs, 20 bucks.

Yes the 921's well fit in the clearance light. I paid about $16 including shipping and insurance which I won't get next time. Oh yeah I don't know about the blinker blub.
