They only fit in one way. fi you are tlaking aboput what i think you are. there are these little ***** on them. you have to line them up push down and the twist. they will only go in one way. that is unless you are making the lights **** the same brightness as the headlights then you have to shave of the **** closest to the bulb then put it in

i think you are talking about the parking lights, to put bulbs in there. for the right hand side one(from inside the car) i think you have to remove the big bracket that is behind it to get to the plug.

Cornering Lights

Believe that you are talking about the cornering lights. To replace the bulbs you have to remove the light assembly. Open your hood and use a philips screwdriver to unscrew the retaining screw that holds down a plastic tab. Look you'll find it. Then take a flat tip screwdriver and wrap in a cloth and insert between the cornering light and the headlight. gently pry out till light assembly comes free but not totally. Get a can of WD40 and look for the the little ball/socket doohickey placed down and toward the headlight. That's the guy that's keeping you from pulling it forward and out. Spray some WD on it, wait a minute and then pull out. Works like a charm. Once out it's easy to replace. I highly recommend the Corner Light rewire procedure. It makes the corner go from dull brown to bright white* (with the addition of some Xenon Hyper Whites ).

I agree with what Zagato said. That is the easiest way.
Even the car manual book has a diagram on how to take out those bulbs and all the other ones. As a matter of fact, last week I had to change all my bulbs, including headlights, and bumpers lights to pass NJ inspection. (they were all aftermarket bulbs with blue tint) I took me 15 minutes to change the whole front end.
