I'd like to find this info out for my 98 as well.
 






Just pop the glass off and turn the little screw thing counter-clock wise and it will fall out along with the bulb.

Do the reverse to install. ;)

I tried that on mine and they wouldn't move. Could I have "melted" something by replacing the factory bulbs with some bulbs from Dead Link Removed?

I have used these bulbs for about 2 months.

The screw thgingies don't want to turn. What do I do now?
 






All you do is push with your thumb or a screw driver and turn it about 5 degrees and it falls down.

Mine won't budge. I am afrade to put too much pressure on it for fear of breaking.

Any other thoughts?
