Wheel Team 6 · 08-19-2016, 12:59 PM

Picture of mine installed. I used a gearwrench microdriver 8mm, a pair of fine tip needle nose, and carefully removed the old lights then installed the new ones.

Yes, the 2 pronged one with the bend gets right under it and allows you to pry up while rocking sito side

Replace them with push-locking-tabs of similar size from Lowe's... those idiotic fasteners are a pain to get out even with a proper tool

I destroyed both of mine pulling them out lol. Ended just saying screw it and didnt put them back in.

Yeah I finally did that but couldn't get the electrical connector to come apart. Buttoned it back up and left the OE lamps in. Oh well, she won this fight, there will be other days.

That wasn't the issue. This was the issue:

For the life of me I couldn't get the connector apart even after sliding the retainer back to release it.

Slide the red switch down and then squeeze the black tab that is "unlocked" from moving the red switch down and it should pull apart. Left light was far easier for me than the right one lol hell taking the right light out was even harder than the left for some reason.
