Default Installing Parking Lights - DIY Instructions?

Sorry guys...this probably sounds like a n00b question..but has anyone found DIY instructions on swapping out the parking lights? Is it tricky to access the parking light bulb?

Just pull them out by the plastic stick and replace, it's hard to miss where those sticks are. Couldn't be any easier.

if i am correct you grab that stick, and turn to the left and pop it out... Make sure if you are adding LED ones to use some electrical tape and make sure they dont pop off into your glass housing. It happened to me a while back and it was a mission to get out... Good luck

For what it's worth the putco ones are very snug so I didn't feel like I had to worry about taping them in, in case anybody goes with those.

I was just mentioning the electrical tape just in case if he is using the Large LED's. Some brands tend to want to pop out if they don't fit in properly.
