Hey guys my side marker bulbs went out, so i bought some LED ones but its like REALLY difficult to take out the markers and trying not to break the plastic extention that the screw holds down. Is there any other way to just remove the bulb and replace it with a new one? or do i have to take out the whole lamp just to change the bulb, if that then is there like another screw holding it back? i only unscrewed 1. Is there any way someone can show me how to just take it out with out breaking that plastic extention? i drive a 1995 ls400

Hi,
Once you have removed the screw at the top fastening you need to grip the outer vertical section of the light and pull forward really hard.
They are secured by yellow plastic clips.
Don't be worried about breaking them they will take the force.
Before you refit make sure the LEDs work as they will only work one way around.

what bulbs do the signals use? i went on slyvania and they said it uses 1156, but when i took out the plug it was a wedge type bulb.

The turn signal bulbs use a 1156 27 watt in the front facing sections and a 194 3.8 watt wedge bulb in the side facing sections
