    Step 7:

    Again, using your small flathead screwdriver, turn the bulb holder counter clockwise 3/4 of a turn and pull the bulb holder out. **Please keep in mind, my bulb holders look different due to them being modified to LED's by Buggman, that is why there is an extended green wire. Regular bulb holders will appear as a flat circle**

    Step 8:

    Once the bulb is removed, replace with an OEM bulb or modified LED bulb.

    Step 9:

    Replace switch, bracket and bezel in reverse order of these instructions.


    Again, please keep in mind, my switches and indicator lights are modified to LED's courtesy of Buggman. OEM bulbs will not show as bright as pictured below and OEM indicator lights will be an amber color.
