and they are very good for the price much better than getting it from BME dealer which cost arm and a lrg.

Here is how to change the silver red bulbs.
It will only take 10 mins to do.

Make shore that the car is turned off and the keys is out from the car.

Nice DIY!! Very easy to follow. Its funny how they solder those lights on there, did they expect it to last a lifetime?! Bad manufacturers <_<... Glad you got your lights working again!
