Parking light, turning signal, side marker

hey guys I was wanting to put in clear bulbs for the turning blinker up front, at the rears, the sides, and also the the parking lights. Bulbs have already been purchased but I was wondering if anyone can help me in figuring out how to replace the bulbs?

First off i know its your first instinct to post a question being new and all but a lot of information can be found on this site by just searching a bit. Maybe you could spend a little time searching first and then post if you need some extra help. But no problem i'll take a go at it...

For the front corner markers(In headlights)
-With hood open remove the three bolts holding the headlight in.
-Place hand on the corner of the light and pull towards you(there is a snap holding the headlight in behind it.)
-light is accesible from back of headlight.

For the side blinkers(On fender)
-Take a flathead screwdriver(Preferrebly a wide flat one)
-Use a towell so you dont scratch your paint and place the screw driiver in between the housing and the fender on the side closest to the door.
-Heres a trick...If you can get the screwdriver to fit without touching your car, you can place your finger underneath it between the screwdriver shaft and your fender for leverage. That way you dont have to press against the fender.

For the rear lights(taillights)
-Open trunk and remove the two screws holding each light in
-Place hand on the side closest to the fender and pull towards you
-Access to the bulbs is behind the light
GOOD LUCK!

Another trick with the side blinkers that works well for me is wrap a little electrical tape around the tip the screwdriver and slide it in. Not a scratch...

thanks for the help guys! now that I have an idea of how to do all this I need a second opinion from you fellas. I am wanting to get HID at 6500K. That should be a light purple color. So I was thinking about putting in clear bulbs for the front turning blinkers and either clear or blue for the parking lights. How do you think this would look with the HID? Should I stick with amber bulbs for my turning signals or is clear going to be ok? Thoughts on blue turn signals? thoughts on clear or blue parking lights? Here's a link to what the HID should look like: http://www.kaixenkits.com/

I got Xexon bulbs all around (excluding plate bulbs). Turn signals, parking, reverse, and sides... Bulbs outside color is blue, but when it's illuminated it's hyper white! Pure sex with the Sylvania Silverstars and Catz driving lights!

when it comes to LED, can I just fit the bulbs in just like any other replacement bulb or is it more work than that?

There are some LED bulbs out there that'll work in the stock locations. But ever since that one bad experience with the set of 3-led side blinker bulbs I got, I'll not using one any time soon...

Has anyone tried to put blue turn signal bulbs in your tail lights? Wondering how it looked with the stock tail light area being yellow.

If you put them behind red taillights the output will be red. If you put them in a clear housing they will be blue-ish. Behind yellow/amber they will be green. I wouldn't recommend having turn signals some weird color, it can get you a ticket.

I always thought that purple HIDs were like 12000k not 6500k. I may be wrong, but I'd check it out.

Some HID bulbs have color coatings nowadays.
