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.

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 )
