Steps to complete side marker replacement:
Step 1: Use Screw Driver To Pry Off Side Marker
Insert the tip of the flat head screwdriver into the top corner of the side marker. Gently pry toward you while inserting the screw driver further. With steady pressure, the side marker should pop out.
Step 2: Disconnect Side Marker, Remove Bulb Socket, and Remove Bulb
The side marker simply disconnects from the electrical connection on the vehicle. Once you disconnect it, you will be able to remove the bulb socket and remove the old bulb.
Step 3: Replace Bulb, Insert Bulb Socket Into New Side Marker, Re-connect
This is just the reverse of the above steps. The new bulb inserts the same way the old one came out. The bulb socket can then be inserted into the new side marker and plugged back into the connection on the vehicle.
Step 4: Snap New Side Marker In Place
Firmly push both sides of the side marker straight into the opening. It will solidly snap into place.
