How hard are side door bulbs to change?
Want to change driver and passenger bulbs from red to blue but couldn't really see how to get to bulb. Didn't get owners manual with car and couldn't find diy

pretty easy bro. just hold the red plastic piece from the bottom, and slowly budge it out. pretty easy take on this one. no hesitation here. this is easier than changing the top front panels and the top rear panels.

hey unreeaal. yah u have to order the clear cover. u can get it from a dealership. its a housing and the bulb is attached to the other side of the housing. I can post the part number of the clear housing when I get home.

that's thankfully the easiest light to change in the entire car. the blue will not show through the red, tried it, looks mostly red with slight purple tinge. get the clear one as suggested either dealer or online.
pry out the red led with a fine flathead, nothing breakable is holding it. rest is self-explanatory.

I just changed these out today on my car, easiest mod ever! Just get your fingernail in the lens and pull it down, then detach the lens/bulb assembly from the wiring clip. Put your light of choice (I used some Putco 194 LEDs) in the new clear lens assembly, plug it in, and pop everything back in. I ordered the clear lenses from Sewell:

So all 12 of those on that page are exactly the same and what I need for the sidedoors? Dont really understand why there are so many and so many different prices.
Upon second review, I noticed that he said "flank" So are these the right ones?
