Cleared Heads But Forgot To Change Bulbs
I just cleared my heads on my coupe yesterday and wasn't thinking of buying new bulbs for the corner and middle so they are kinda dark in that area. the prob is how am i suppose to change those bulbs now with everything put back together? i can't reach inside for the corners, don't tell me i gotta take the bumper back off, that's stupid just to change lights. thanks peace.

Rep Power: 417 ya it tells you in the manual. you could get at it through the fender well. i think you just remove one of those push tab things n you should be able to pull back the fender well and reach the bulbs

Rep Power: 0 Yep, about 4-5 inches up the fender well from the screw that holds the bumper to the fender, there is a push tab. Remove it and pull the plastic back. YOu can reach right up in there. If you turn the wheel all the way to the other side, you have more room to get your arm in there.

Rep Power: 0 Hahaha...just remove the first two black clips which hold the inner fender well cover and you can easily get at the bulbs through the resulting opening...voilá...5 minutes later, you have new lights.

Rep Power: 0 Well dry the light out first with a hair dryer or something and then I would try just sealing the outside and if that doesn't work you will have to take them apart again I have had mine done since March but I haven't been in one rain storm yet I live in Arizona we are in a huge drought. But washed my car like once a week since March and nothing yet so hopefully I will be all right or I will be opening them up again and sealing some more.
