Help with installing side turn signal bulbs

So I got the whole signal unit off the car, but I am having the hardest time trying to get the cover off of the unit to replace the bulbs. I know mitsu tells you to replace the whole unit, but thats a waste of money if you ask me. Anyone out there that has replaced the bulbs that can help me out?????

thanks

it is a sealed unit. I would get price and availability before you warm it up to try and get the glue apart in case you fuxxor it up.

But sure about the '08s, but check the owners manual cuz the earlier model's manual showed how to changed them.

Thanks guys, I did read in the manual that they were a whole unit and you couldn't replace the bulbs, but I have heard of other people that have switched just the bulbs. I have heard that baking them in the oven will help loosen the glue up so you can take them apart, but I just don't want to melt them. Do you think putting them in the oven for a brief period of time would do any damage???
