Start searching bro...

Yes, it is much easier to access... there is one phillips head that you take out... its on the inside... you should see a little hole

Nothin happened as in you were stripping the screw or nothing happened as in it wouldnt turn...

If it's the latter then push harder and grow muscles... if the first...

yea i read the diy's but it wasnt working for me. turns out i was going in with the phillips at a bad angle anyway i guess the bulb isnt the problem cause after i switched it, it still doesnt work... could it be the socket? and its probably not the fuse cause all the other lights work
