Default RE: Replacing side marker bulbs

Those are it exactly. My wheels are made by Mr. Cepek at GT, Inc. It is an entire wheel. Each wheel then has a trim ring to give it the simulated beadlock look. The rings are held on by 6 long stainless steel bolts. The remainder of the bolts are shorter and don't extend pass the trim rings. He does various powder coating colors, e.g., maybe you have a red ride and want the wheels black and the trim rings red.

I just wanted to let you guys know I found an easier way to remove the side marker lights. You can do this with just two screwdrivers. One large one, and a smaller one to push the clips in. Just take some thick cardboard and fold over in half, place this on the fender part of the car, then with the screwdriver resting against the cardbard pry the lens away from the fender, push the cardboard between the fender and light. With the other screwdriver reach in and you can see the plastic clip, simply push and it will pop out of the fender.

I have done this a few times and it works, no scratches to the fender but obviously if you don't feel comfortable, dont' do it. Honestly I can pull these lights out this way in about2 mintues each side rather than removing the wheel, or pulling out the inside fender.

Might want to LOOK at the age of the thread (like this one ... 7 YEARS OLD) before you dig up OLD as dirt topics to ask a question of a guy that last posted here 3 years ago?? Just a thought.
