Yeah there is only one screw holding it in, but you have to either pull REALLY hard or use a screwdriver wrapped in cloth to wedge it out.

That should be the right bulb also.

Not really liking the blue, but if they have them in white i'd get them. Where'd you get yours?

Yah, you're gonna have to use a bit of force when taking the corner light out. Once you take that screw out, there's a little metal piece that kind of snaps into a plastic hole. The metal piece is cylindrical but it's also wedge shaped so wedges itself in there. When you take it out and put it in, it's almost like popping it in and out. Hope that isn't too confusing! haha

Yes, this is right on, you have to pull it straight out, almost pry it out! Pull it out towards the front of the car..you can't really angle it or pull it towards the side, but rather just straight towards the front. I'll try and find actual pics, as for the diagram, I don't believe it's in the diagram because it's built right into the housing.

Be a man and just pull/pry the god damn thing out. It should pop right out, finagle if you have to.

once you remove the screw - you have to SLIDE the corner light towards the headlight(and a little bit out) to get it out. /__/ &lt;-headlight |) &lt;-- corner light

/__/|) &lt;--full thing....(your driver side)

You have to slide the corner light to the left (towards the headlight) once the screw is removed.
