What exactly are you talking about? The bulb/s in the signals next to the headlights or in the bumper?

Well anyway, if it's the bulbs next to the headlights, you gotta take off the black plastic radiator cover, unbolt the headlight mounts, take the headlights out, no need to unplug just move them to the side, then reach behind the corner lights and twist the socket that holds the bulb about a centimeter till you can't anymore and it should pull right out, then just pull the bulb out.
Same goes for the bumper lights, they're more difficult tho because you have to reach in below and then up, twist out the socket and do the same like the upper corner lights. It's putting them back in and lining them up the right way to twist them back in that's the hard part.

Once you remove the old bulb or housing what ever it is your doing, you have to make sure to top off your blinker fluid or the new lights won't function properly..:silly:

Hey I've been thinking about swapping out my '02 cav's taillights, and possibly front blinkers as well. Just wondering if there was a decent tutorial or how to written up anywhere that yas might now about? Straight up noob when it comes to this stuff.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot.

what are you putting in

^well with the tails they should only be held on by 3 bolts. just unscrew them and disconnect the plugs. they will be located behind the carpet in your trunk. carpet is held on with a thumb turn knob, undo that and pull the carpet back a little bit to where you can see three bolts. undo each one of those and then the lense should come right out. it will be held on now only by the harness. just undo the harness and the tail will be free. as for the ones on the deck lid (the trunk) when its open you should see again 3 bolts holding that one on. just undo those and undo the harness. they should now just come off.

as of now, if clear signal lenses somewhat match the stock headlights, I'll prolly hold off on them. I take things slow if i don't know what i'm doing. hah.

I take things slow if i don't know what i'm doing. hah.well if your going to change the corners you have to take off the headlight. i have a '99 and i know that the headlight is held on by 2 screws. yours might be the same or at least close to it. just remove the screws holding on the headlight. once thats off undo the harness. the corner lense should be held on with 3 bolts again. you will see them after the headlight is off. they are inside the fender somewhat. remove them and the corner should come out. just take the new corner or tail light and put it back on. to put back in just reverse everything i told you. then once they are on plug the harness's back in and your good to go. hopefully this helped you out a little bit.
