lol, undo the plastic pop-rivet thing in the wheel-well. Peel back inner fender a little bit and you should be able to reach both the running light and the turn signal. (Unless you have Popeye forearms, then go find a kid to reach in there for ya [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] )

Turn the steering wheel all the way away from the corner you want to do. Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the round plastic tab, peel away the pastic fender piece and reach in.

Remember, don't do this while the car's running, and especially when it's moving! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] lol

BTW, yeah, the manual has this, and many many other ppl posted questions about this before.

In all States Clear and Amber bulbs are the only color bulbs that are legal. Now if you li9ve in a place with minimal cops any color is legal! This is because they want something more solid on you to ticket you for. In my case i got a ticket for illegal lighting system. only because i smarted off to the Porker.

dont listen to the sarcasm - it's pretty tough squeezing your arm in there to get the corner lamps. if you can't do it, get someone with smaller arms
