Default Headlight swap question

Can anybody give me instructions on how to swap out the lights that are in the corners of the headlamp assembly? I would like to install some cool blue lights in there but can't figure an easy way to access them. Do I have to remove the whole assembly?

Thanks!
Hando

haha right here Paddy.
you called? lol

Hando, if you search around you can find a couple post with instructions on how to replace them. But since i got so much time at work right now i'll explain.

What you got to do first is pull the fender cover off the side wall. Just use a flat head and stick it in the plastic and pry it open. Bend it enough to get your whole hand in. Don't worrie, its just plasic and will pop back in place. Then reach your hand all the way up and look for the bulb and wires. once you find it, hold onto it and turn it so it unlocks and pull it off. Then put in the new bublies that you want in them.

Both driver and passenger side should be quite easy.

Good luck bro!

I thought about searching but I didn't know what those corner lights are technically called... corner markers? side bulbs? corner bulbs? useless look-good bulbs?
