Default pulling light out indicator bulb for LED install

Hey, I got some LED tails on the way and want to know how to go about pulling the light out indicator bulb. Can somebody please post a link or tell me how to do this? I searched and came up with nothing.

Thanks,

Thanks. I need more though. I'm not very mechanicly inclined. Is there a step by step somewhere or could you type something up real quick. I'm not sure where to even start or what/where the bulb that I'm suppost to pull is at. I'm sure other people could use it too, as the the price on these LED tails keep droping. Please.

I just did this about an hour ago actually. I'll try to describe.

1. Put your key in and adjust the steering wheel all the way down and out
2. Pull out cluster bezel, unplug the turn signal harness.
3. There are 4 screws, one in each corner. Unscrew them and make sure they don't fall into the abyss.
4. Pull out gauge cluster and turn it upwards so you can see the bottom on it. You don't have to unplug it, there's enough space.
5. The tail light out indicator bulb is the second one on the bottom from the left. Unscrew it and it should come out.
6. Put everything back together and enjoy!
