That bulb is REALLY hard to get to. You gotta basically dislocate your hand reaching it. If you really need to, I guess you could take out the head light. But I would just keep tryin to reach it w/out taking it out

I bought some bulbs too. You can get to it b/c I did. The problem I had was that the one on the psngr. side wouldn't f*ckin turn. Driver side bulb was easy. My car hates on me. I will have to take out the whole headlight to do this. Gotta do it anyway to clear the amber piece....got some bulbs for the corner too.:shocked:

i have to take a look at the headlight assy (been in meetings pretty much all day..only had 15min to go to the store today ) but is there like a hatch that opens in the back of the headlight assembly next to the large rubber gasket cover behind the headlight bulb? or is there an opening on the bottom of the headlight fixture that accesses to the marker bulb?

thanks again.

thanx guys for all your help. i was able to get the piaa markers installed today. it was a pain in the ass to get to the one on the passenger side!! i was at it with my bare hands for a while, but decided to use a long-nose plyer to twist it. after that, it was a breeze.

when i put back the one on the battery side, I noticed that I didnt get it in there exactly the same way it was before taking it out, meaning that the twist lock position was off by one. there's no difference between the lock position vs bulb angles, right? not sure, please let me know. thanx.

are you talking about after u inserted the bulb in "the thing the bulb goes in to"? It is made to go in a certain way. I would try twisting it back out and make sure it is in the right spot. If it is it will twist right in and lock. Am I talking about what you are needing to know.
