you have to pop them out. stick a flat screwdriver in there and carefully pry them out and they will pop off. Its held by a (ball-in-socket type deal)

Mine just have kind of a twist mechanism. You know how your twist and pull to get out the bulbs that are in your clear corners(or stock bumper lights?)? that is how my side markers were.

i bought some cheap bulbs on ebay for the sidemarkers and they are only bulbs (with no wires). i assume they are for the sidemarkers because i saw that the clear corner's bulbs have wires leading to the bulbs. hmmmm

like I said, you stick a flat screwdriver between the corner light and sidemarker and pry it until it pops out, its held in by a ball in socket clip, no screws at all

However-the turn signal is held in by a screw that you will see once you take the sidemarker off.

1156 will fit the front turn signals, rear turn signals, but that would be illegal for the rear turn signals since its white

it doesnt matter if you get single or double. my stock turn signals in the back were single, and my fronts were duals.

This is true,but if you have Duel filliments in the frount trun signal would'nt it use the lower watt filiment when blinking? if you used 1157 for the turns, the bulb would blink brighter.
