Ogz.. if u can help it.. don't let the clear case come un-done from the wires.. just pop the clear case off the plastic and lay on ya back, get a thin flat head screw driver and a towel (don't let the hot bulb fall on ya face)..

After u popped the clear case.. stick the the flat head in and try to pop one side of the bulb out.. after that pull it with ya hand to release the other side.. after that pop in one side of the bulb and make sure the bulb is shining the right direction and pop it in.. then put the case back on..

Good luck and....don't pull too hard! let me know how it goes...if you're stuck i'll pull mine out again and take more pics!
Hey man thanks for the help I really appreciate it! I got them in but didnt get a chance to check em out at night yet. I bought the Hi Power ones(http://www.superbrightleds.com/store...stoons3022.jpg) I was scared they wouldent fit but they seemed to go in fine

To Guam, Broke as a Joke, and Dranom,

thanks fellas for the guide/tips doing the lights i managed to do it without any troubles.. it was actually easier than i thought it would be, maybe i was to paranoid of breaking the glass covers for them or stuff up the wiring. but geyah thanks again!..

1 question tho.. does your driver side step light only turns on when you open the passenger door? .. coz thats what mine does, so i was wondering if its normal?.. i thought it was broken at first but then i saw it when i was cleaning the interior of the car.
Thanks in advance

To Guam, ill post some pics on my profile soon hehe i havent had time to take pictures of it. but yeh man soon pre!

Mr.Poon i bought the same man. they are crazy bright and they do not project any heat aswell unlike the original bulbs. i changed my Dome lights inside the car with the exact one. perfect output. i think they are called SMD Led bulbs. its great!

Just to change the city light, you really don't have to take the wheel off.. Just jack up the wheel enough on each side so that you raise the wheel well. Don't even lift the wheel off the ground, turn the wheel all the way to the right, when you're on the left side, and all the way to the left, when you're on the right side. You just want to be able to pull the clips out, and pull the wheel lining down.. Then you can slide your arm back there, and twist the fog light cap off, and pull the city light out, change the bulb, and put it back in.. Done.. I just did mine a few weekends ago for the first time.

initially it sucks...not enough slack on the wires...but it's not too bad after you get the first one out of the way...

where'd you get your LED's?

looks better with led's. just jack up the front and turn the wheels then take the liner loose and do the city lights and HIDs from there. and the seat is a common traffic area of course and gets the worst of it all. i have some good condition wheat leathers for ya if interested btw.

After reading so many post about the step lights being a PITA to change, I threw mine in the trunk and was going to just forget about them. Well today I decided to give it a shot...for those of you that are a little hesitant..it wasn't as hard as some say it is...took me all of 2 min's to change, don't know why some people are pulling the plastic housing down so far that they pull off the wire. Now if I can just figure out how to get to the light in the ashtray I'll be good ta go
