How do I take the 3 clips off in order to change road lamps?!

This might be a dumb question. But you know... the clips that secure the splash guard under the road lamps... I need to change the bulbs, but I can't seem to get the splash guard off. Anybody help, please. I'd appreicate it. Thanks!

The roadlamps pop out after unscrewing one screw from the grill area. You can also change bulbs by just reaching underneath. I never removed any car parts to change the bulbs.

Two different ways.

If you go through the splash guard under the car, use a flathead screwdriver, slide it under the little notch things in the clips and wiggle it until they pop off. I did this the first time i had to go in there, and it's kindof a pain in the ass to get under the car and an awkward position to be in when dealing with fragile bulbs that could potentially break in your face.

The second way is much easier. Take a phillips head screwdriver and find the screw on the side of the lower grill and unscrew it, then reach in and push the entire roadlamp casing out, and unhook the roadlamp cables and replace bulb etc.

Look at the FAQ section.

There you will find most of the information you could ever need and you won't have to post threads asking questions already covered

Also this guy Chod has a pretty good DIY w/ pictures on how to do it the second way
