side markers out

ok so my flashers stoped working and i went to the parts store and got the bulbs, when i go to put them in i cant find out how to. I called a local acura dealer and they tell me its 160 dollars in labor, I start driving to the dealer and i start thinking thats a lot of money for changing out some bulbs specialy when i just lost my job i had for the past 4 years. I am going to star taking out the front bumper today but befor i do is there a nother way to do this? Thanks in advanced.

so what lights are out? Your corner bulbs or your side markers?

The corner bulbs can be done just by disconnecting the harness and twisting the bulb out. For the driver side you will probably have to remove the battery.

All you have to do is remove the clips on the fender splash shield on the front fenders and peel it back a little. Then stick your hand in there and twist the socket to release the bulb. It will take you less than 5 minutes to replace each bulb.

I installed my switchbacks in less than 10 minutes total.
