Check your manual - simple instructions there. I just did mine and it took about 10 min. Looks great!

Just a slight word of caution....as you pull the light out be careful that you don't knock off the rubber cap covering the wires, as I did. I heard the little guy bouncing off the inside cavity seemingly for hours on it's way to possibly an eternal internal resting place.
I don't believe there is a way to retrieve it aside from dismantling the entire front end!

Suncoast is the seller you bought them from: call them if you have a problem (or if you want clear bulbs).

Suncoast instructions state no tools are required. My owners manual states a screwdriver is required. Best to check your manual.

There's at least one other sponsor that carries factory oem clear sidemarkers as well.....sometimes even for less.

I've heard lots of good things about you guys, and no insult intended, but fwiw I sure find your web site to be cumbersome.

Be careful.
US law requires the side lights to be AMBER at night
( thats why they give you amber bulbs with the clear housings )
