    Default Sidemarker bulb replacement

    This may sound like a stupid question to most, but how the heck do you take the bulb out of the sidemarker housing?

    I know how to take the sidemarker housing off the car, but I’m having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to get the bulb out…???? Doesn’t help either that the housing is slippery from the rust proofing I had done over the past weekend….

    I tried doing a search using key words such as sidemarker/ bulb/ replacement….. but couldn’t find anything.

    Anyone?

    You cannot replace the bulbs in the sidemarkers, you have to replace the whole lamp.

    Really?!?! I did a quick search that showed the bulb in the sidemarker is an 1157A bulb. Isn't that the small peanut bulb, like the one use for the license plate?

    Yeah that's what I was thinking, but it would have to be for amber LED's. or a lense I could tint amber...

    Looks like I'll have to inquire around to see who has any for sale......

    They are ridiculously easy to uninstall... best off to just drop by a wrecker and grab one.. can't be that much.
