Remove the harness from the bulb, take the bulb out, put in the new bulb, replace harness.... do that for both sides. For the driver side you may need to slide out the Radiator Reserve Tank to have better access to the bulb.

Instructions are in the manual... should take about 5 min. or so to do.....

I did this last week. I was very puzzled, & thought it would take long to do, so I didn't do it. DO NOT following the directions in the helms manual. They are wrong. They say you have to loosen the 3 screws around the bulbs first. This is not the case. After some consulting on this forum, I did replace them in about 3 minutes. It's very easy:

Passanger side
Remove the connector, by pressing down the little clip
Turn the bulb counterclockwise & remove
Install the replacement bulb in the reverse order. Do not touch the bulb.

Drivers side
Pull up on the coolent overflow container
It slides into a grove on the battery tray. You will see it. It just pulls right out. Disconnect the little hose, by pulling it off. Remove bulb the same as the passanger side. You might have to push
the lines on top of the raditor a little to remove the container
Thats it, it was easy!

I was referring to the owner's manual, not the Helms... when I did it, I just looked in there and it took 5 min.... it took longer to slide the damn tank back on then to replace the bulbs!!
