I was wondering if anybody can tell me (again) how to change the bulbs on the side parking lights of a 93 240SX.  Do they slide off, pop off, or what?

I changed my bulb a little while ago.  You have to slide the reflector forward and then it comes loose.

Push them forward towards the bumper.  It may help to heat it with a blow dryer and use a razorblade to *carefully*separate the adhesive "gasket" from the body panel.  When it's loose push it forward about a 1/2" and the rear of the light should pop out, then just pull back and the light will come right out.  The actual bulbs twist into the back like most lights.  For some reason, the right and left lights are different.  One has a three prong "dovetail" while the other only has two.  If you're interested, check out the "Intalls" section on how to install some clear sidemarkers from a Mercedes ML320.

I wanted to change my side lights to clearlights...But I was wondering if I bought a clear lens instead of the whole piece is that possible?
