So far these bulbs are working great! still only 17 bucks on amazon and I do not see any problems with them over heating cuz of the 100 watts.... Also do not see any dimming either

Just a quick heads-up to anyone replacing the headlight bulbs, the passenger side is a P.I.T.A. because of the windshield washer fluid container. I had a small issue with it, but maybe my hands just aren't meant for changing headlight bulbs :-/

I need help replacing my rear right turn signal bulb ASAP. I can't figure out how to pop off the plastic cover. So far I have scratched the paint using a flat head screwdriver! Help! I just need a picture of the notch where I am supposed to insert the screwdriver. I can't find it.

As I recall from when I was doing a radio installation a year or so ago, you pull a plastic panel off of the inside of the car in the trunk area to get to them. Don't go from the outside. I'm indoors, and it's late, dark, and cold outside, so I'm not going to go check specifically

Pull the panel off on the INSIDE of trunk. Easy access to bulbs then.

Hmm, I'm still not getting it. Am I also prying off the gray part inside the trunk or just the clear shield? Maybe I am just afraid i am going to crack it, but it is not coming off at all.

I said INSIDE Do Not Touch the glass

Here is one of the panels you take off. This is one I have the light in.

You are welcome. You are halfway to now putting on some JDM tails.
