identical to the rear, you have to find the bulb holders and rotate them (pretty hard to turn for the first time) then they will come out and just pop out the bulbs

i had problems at first but it was easy afterward.

^ You guys must have smallish hands or high tolerances for pain. I had a helluva time replacing the parking lights due to lack of space and not being able to get my hands around the bulb fixture, I can't imagine getting at the turn signal bulbs w/out removing the air filter box/washer filler tube...

FYI - just got my silvervisions today, not bad only 1 week to deliver. They are giving Philips blue vision 5w bulbs instead of Osrams now. FWIW - got creamed on the exchange rate, bulbs cost $50 for 2 sets and Visa charged a foreign rate fee. . .

Ouch. I ordered on 2/29, despatched on 3/3 and rec'd on 3/10. IIRC, FL is closer to the UK than SoCal, so not sure what the delay could be. . .

Yeah strange I know, but they were delivered yesterday! Yay!!

I plan on installing my K&N intake at the same time as the bulbs, so I should have more room to install the bulbs.
