do i have to take out all the rivets and the bumper and other good stuff just to change the bulbs? or is there an easy way that i dont know about?

 

For the front, if I am correct all you need to do it take off your front 2 tires and undo the lining. and you can access them all there.

 

ahhh..thanks much,im gonna try that tom. morning!

 

I didn't take off the bumper or wheels... Just jack the wheel up on the side you're on, turn the wheel to the inside, and pull the fender liner down..

^^^ thanks much!

 

NP.. That's what I used.. Saves a LOT of time, and it was my first time doing this.. Just take your time and you can knock it out rather easily.. Oh.. DON'T touch the bulbs w/ your bare hands.. Nothing like getting it all in there, and then the bulbs blow from the oils on your fingers and the bulb overheats and POPS!!! One of my friends had this happen to him.. Use latex gloves when dealing w/ bulbs..

 

just got done changing them out...wow,never had to change bulbs from the wheel well. thanks.

 

wasn't that bad huh?

 

no sir..

 

I get to the bulb but how do I take that silver mechanism out? I'm afraid I'm going to fvck something up lol

 

My car does not have any rivets, I think when I got into an accident, they also change my fenderwall, its just a plain clean fenderwall, no rivets? Do I just pull it? That circle indent you see on the bottom left is not a rivet, somebody asked me if I was sure there's no rivet...NO EFFING s*** I'm sure.

 

see that push pin right there on the lower left?! ders 2 right der gotta come out and up top there's a screw and 2 more push pins close to the engine bay..i'd take off the tire if i was you it be a whole lot easier..

 

mine rotates counter clockwise.. so turn the block square part that you can grab, down.. Then behind that, there's a squeeze clamp holding the bulb in place.. squeeze the 2 sides together, and lift it up, and the bulb will come right out (no rotation or anything.. The bulb will be lose in the casing.)

Be sure not to touch a bare bulb w/ your fingers.. the oils on your fingers can cause the bulb to burst when you turn it on if the oily residue gets on the bulb and it overheats.. seen it happen before. Talk about pissed.. lol
