easiest way to install clearance bulbs

ive looked around and found nothing, but if there is a write-up on this just direct me and end it at that. anyways, im trying to install some polarg's for my clearance bulbs in my headlights and was wondering if removing the headlight would be easiest to do this...its pretty tight in there. Any suggestions?

find someone with a small hand, I guess....

I just changed mine last week. It's tight, but all you have to do is twist the bulb holder out, change the bulb, and twist it back in....

Clearance bulbs? Are you talking about the bulbs above the turn signal? If so, yeah, those are a pain to twist out. I personally twisted mine off, took out the bulb, and drive without them. Looks much cleaner that way. =)

Those suck as far as changing. I've had to change mine several times. After the first time, my passenger headlight was stolen so I ordered a pair of piaas. Once you get them in, you won't be angry anymore because they look so nice.
