How do i get into my clearance lights to change?

I just ordered 4 piaa extream white wedge bulbs 168/194. I really wanted em for my clear corners, but i saw a package of 4 on ebay for 32 dollars shipped which is prolly just about as cheap as i'll find em anywhere and i really wanna change em out anyways. I only have one problem... i dont have any idea how to get into my clearance lights. I have read a lot of the DIY's just so that i can learn about my car and such, and will this require me to remove that panel from in front of my front tires? Im guessing the answer is yes... but if someone could give me a little directiong i would appreciate it greatly.

Turn the wheel in all the way, Jack the car and remove the plastic cover. Find the light and have at it. It's tricky to get to the bulb, you have to mess with it a bit.

Heres a shot of my car with the Piaa extreme whites in both clear corners and clearance strip

The install is relatively easy, you need to jack up each side to access the wheel well area, It should take you less than 1 hour.
look here this should give you a pretty good visual of what needs to be done..........hope this helps GOOD LUCK

Since your going to have the wheel well apart, you may want to consider changing out the fog/high bulb as well. The stock one is way too yellow in color.....

I put in MTEC Super White H4 bulbs, they are reasonable in price, can be found on ebay..... just a suggestion.

If it's your first time, I'd advise taking off the wheel and the fender liner. Makes it much easier to see and replace the bulb. Also, helps prevent contaminating the halogen bulb surface if you're going to do that one as well.

i dont mind the halogen bulb at all...... i was going to order these piaas for clearance and corners last night, but yesterday was my bday and a friend said "i got something for the g but its not here yet" so i dont wanna buy anything in case he got me those lights (i doubt he bought me turbos or something lol so the lights would be one of the few things i would think he'd get me)

Happy Birthday! [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] It may be a dress-up item like aluminum pedals, clear corners, or a shift ****. But you can always hope it comes in a big box that says "Vortech" on it or similar![img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: How do i get into my clearance lights to change?

lol yeah i was a little disapointed when my ztube in popcharger came in a big box labeled "Dell Computers".... haha cause i was pretty sure they didnt send me a dell on accident. HMMM if i got a vortech s/c on accident... i wonder if id have the moral character to return it.... i guess it depends on what the dyno says after install and what my track times are.... if i was in the mid 12's, id say that moral character is overrated
