You have to open the door to get at this light. Open your door and just look at the area behind the light cover... you will definately see how to get at it... look all around that general area for screws. You must venture here.. you'll find a way, because there IS a way. Good luck

This issue is well documented on a car on Cardomain.com but unfortunately I haven't found it yet. However, I seem to remember that there are some phillips head scews on each side (facing the door). If I remember wrong on that one, then you'll need to remove the inner plastic trim on the pillar on the inside of the cabin. From there, you should be able to pull out the light. There isn't a bulb, the whole thing is chemical based as I remember and you have to either get a new one from the dealer or get lucky at a junkyard.

If I find the cardomain site, then I'll post the link.

[Drewet88]

damn... dat sucks i guess i'll keep searching for a way to do it. I think the car would look really really really good if i could get them to work.

Hey, I think I remember. You have to remove the large flat plastic trim piece on the backside of the pillar to get at it. This involves removing the plastic trim around the doors (some of it, at least).

so ill most likely have to go to the stealership in order to get the lights... autozone didnt have them and i'm not to sure if i trust junkyard lights.
