dustin, what did you do to change your rear side markers? I've looked and can't find anything about removing or replacing. I have a bulb out and the dash light is getting annoying

I changed all my side marker lights out for smoked ones. You are just needing to put a new bulb in yours correct? PM me and I will explain how to do it, I removed my whole rear bumper to put in my new smoked side markers because due to some fitment issues that was easier. However, if you just need to put a new bulb in yours you do not have to remove the whole bumper. PM me and ill give directions.

here is the link to the thread I think slidingIS is talking about, anyways there should be something in here about the process I went through to put my side markers in if that helps any, but you can still PM me for directions man
