    Excellent video. I was able to do it myself. Biggest problem I had was trying to get the clips out for the cover. Finally was able to just put some force on the cover itself and push it away from the clips, since one side of the cover hole is open. And then put it back on the same way, with a little force. I think my clips are slightly different than the ones on your cover. Changing the light itself was very easy from your detailed explanation. Thank you.

    thank you for showing my wife and I how easily this light bulb is changed. Now she will hover around my head like a raven protecting her nest until I complete the job. Also because you changed the passenger side bulb, in her mind it negates any accuracy pertaining to changing the driver's side bulb. I will continue to perform the work and maybe...just maybe she will discontinue to feel the need to take the car to the dealership for the light bulb replacement. OMG ... I am a manufacturing engineer working in the aerospace field for 35 years.
