Clear Corners Bulb Replacement
Hi there, I did a search for Clear Corners installation and found some DIY threads about how to put them on the car and that is fine. My question is, how do I change the amber bulbs that come with them to the stealth bulbs I purchased? I am a noob at this kinda stuff and there was no instructions with my lights. I can see the bulb inside, but I dont want to bust my lights by trying to seperate the case from the backing.. am I missing something? lol i'm not very handy as you can tell from this message, i'm just scared to break them.
Also in the DIY thread they talked about removing the reflector, I can only see this happening if the case seperates, but once again, im scared to try and pull it apart.. please help!
Thank you!

Bulb replacement... you pull out the old one, and put in the new one. I know that sounds rude, but seriously.. it can't be broken down any simpler than that.
You don't open the case to get the reflector out. Try using a long needle nose plyer. Thats what worked for me. Or... just leave it in.

I can't get to the bulb inside the marker is what I'm saying I guess.. I know how to change a lightbulb :P but seriously, I can see the bulb inside, but its encased by the white marker cover and the backing...The only way I see how is seperating the case.. but I dont want to break it.. so I'm asking am I missing something here?

I think I figured it out from looking at the DIY thread.. the wiring is already attached in my clear marker and in the DIY thread it is seperated... I have to take that part out instead of seperating the caseing like i assumed.. I said im a noob.. be gentle

Dude, just turn the plastic part that holds the buld into the turn signal (right below the rubber washer). You just turn it counter clockwise and the whole bulb/housing comes out. Think of the clear corner as a fancy lamp shade, just twist if off and you'll see the bulb sitting in the socket.
