Is the light bulb suppose to snap in or something before you put the pin back in or does the pin do the job of holding it in place?

I got one of the bulbs replaced, luckily with ease....but the other one, the pin isn't hooking...and I can't see it so I just keep pushing it and hoping it hooks, I think I did that for almost 2 hours. My back hurts...and the pin still isn't in, I just gave up because its too dark outside now...is the bulb suppose to snap in or somehow fit in snug first?

 

it should snap in first, from my experience..i know..it's a pain in the @$$.....

 

Got it in finally...damn that sucked. I see it is supposed to go in a certain way...the previous owner put them in the wrong position lol. I hope I never have to do that again.

 

the bulb goes in 1 way, and then the metal arm goes in and goes to the side to latch in the detent- so it bulb held by hand- metal arm in position-- and slide it over and up- done

 

lol my result was : the passenger side was ok, but the driver side....lol i broke the springs and yeah i had to place a dam roll of hard paper to help it hang in the middle and then close the cap. Lol it sucks

 

Thats :ghey:

 

needle nose pliers are the tool for the job, and a small mirror to see whats inside,,,
