How hard is it to change a fog and a corner/parking lamp?

I finally bought the drivers side fog lamp and I just ordered a corner lamp from carpartswholesale.com. I couldn't find any write ups for it so I was wondering how hard it is and what kind of tools I need.

Thanks

Sell your max.



You'll need a screwdriver for the corner light and a 10 or 12 millimeter socket for the fogs.

Haven't tried the fogs yet, but the clearance lights are a piece of p*ss... Just need a philips, a flathead, and a rag...
Unscrew the clearance light (philips screw just above the headlights), wrap the business end of the flathead driver with the rag, wedge it between the headlight & the clearance, and just wiggle the bastard out, takes about 2 minutes...

The owner's manual should show you how if you're unsure, or check this:

lol thanks, I only ask because I've never been mechanically inclined. I don't like to go in poking around and end up screwing something up. I understand my questions are pretty noobie but you'd be surprised how clean my max is

heres your drivers side turn signal/sidemarker

====++++

the = is the front turn signal and the + is the side marker.

put your keys or flat head screw driver with a rag on the untensil, and put it in between the = and the + and push out with the tip of the utensil facing the drivers side. then unscrew the phillips head. and your done.

as for fogs. make sure you have all the hardware.
2 fog lamps. 2 mounting brackets and i think there are 8 bolts. 2 bolts on the left side and on 1 bolt on the right side. and then one bolt secures the fog lamp to the bracket. visa versa with passenger side.
