Question Point me to photos/video of changing sidemarker lights on 987-2??

Search function hasn't turned up anything. Bought clear sidemarker lights for my '07 Boxster S. Anybody know where there is a good thread on this forum (or another forum?) with photo documentation or maybe a youtube video on how to change out the sidemarker lights??

I've changed them on a couple of other vehicles, and know from experience that having photos or a video can make the job so much easier.

Thanks in advance!!

Here's the quick way (or at least the way I did it) on a 987.2:

Wrap a flathead in a microfiber cloth. Wedge it into the 'front' edge of the sidemarker (towards the nose). Push to the rear and away from the car body simultaneously. It will pop out in a second. The new one will pop back in. Total time is maybe 30 seconds + the time to change the actual bulb if you need to.

Genius!! Thanks. It was 90 seconds for the first one and 30 seconds for the 2nd one just as you said.

The last one I did was a 2007 Mercedes SLK which required unbolting the fender liner, 2 bolts back up inside the fender blind, etc., etc., etc. It took 2 hours+.

Thanks again. Looks MUCH better now!!!
