All you need to is take out the two snap-screws in the well and just peel back the plastic and just reach your hand in there and feel for the bulb.

Why would you pay double for the M13 for reverse while you could use M12???? M13 is dual-element bulb, but you need single-element for reverse

Well, actually you had it reversed. M12 should be for reverses and M13 for the turn signals.

no because m12 are the screw in types, and m13 are the thin plug in types. anyway the m13 were $10 a piece. i don't think that's too bad. so are you going to the meet?

and i still haven't put the turn signals in yet. it's been rainy
