i ordered my bulbs from raiautosalon also, but i cant get that dang side marker off...i covered the screwdriver with the cloth and all and all it did was rip the cloth, mind you i used three, an old teeshirt, and 2 other cloths...all three ripped. i also tried removing the front turns and my hands cant seem to get to them...and i've got fairly small hands cuz im a girl the only thing i managed to do was change my dome lights to hyper white

 

trinity: give the screwdriver a little wiggle while gently pushing from the front of the car toward the back. <<sing along- ...wiggle it, just a little bit...>> The whole assembly will pop out. Be careful though, it is a glass lens.
Pimpson- I too have large, meaty paws and dispite a tight fit, the bulbs can be changed without removing the battery.

Interested parties should look at Artemis to see what the Testors trick looks like. I did that to avoid the SeaTown PoPo who like to pull me over for some reason (even in my very conservative looking 1986 Chev Nova/ Toyota Carolla). And I replaced the front corner markers with clear bulbs to reduce the "Pikachu" effect on my yellow lancer, although the cool-blue Sylvanias are quite a bit brighter and whiter, so it still looks yellow-ish.

Good Luck!

 

itll also help if you use a flat head screwdriver with a really thin tip. u just gotta wedge it under the light, be careful tho. for the front side lights, i used needle nosed pliers because i couldnt reach them. they came out easy; just grab it, then turn, and out it comes.

 

I removed the head lamps themselves to replace bulbs. Made life so much easier. Also make sure you tighten them correctly. My drivers side wasn't now I have moisture in it. Warrenty is covering it but it is still a hassle that I could have avoided by turning it harder.

 

o man, thats what i did, i felt like i did alot of wiggling and still no popping maybe im just paranoid that it'll break..i have the worst luck with everything i think ill go try it again...while singing the song to it hahahahah what a way to spend my saturday night

 

Hmm... Maybe I just got lucky when I switched out my bulbs, but I got all of them changed out in about 15 minutes. I did cut my hands up a little bit while getting to the side markers, but that's about it.

All my lights are PIAA except for my headlights, which will be changed pretty soon.

 

guess what, i tried it again..singing wiggle it just a lil bit in my head hahah i finally got it changed but the stuff the lens was glued on to cracked so i have to superglue it. eventhough i got it out, is the whole side marker supposed to pop out bc i got only the front part out and it was stuck, the only reason i got to change it is bc the housing cracked. blah at least its done with

 

You mean the side turn signal? The side marker is in the front headlight housing.

If it's the side turn, then yes, the whole thing pops out.
