They just pull out from the back of the light. Shouldn't take much pressure.

Really? Just to replace a bulb? So the side marker doesn't just popped out by using some sort of a flat head screw like most of the interior lighting bulbs huh. Ok thank you. Oh one more question. I have a problem with adjusting my radio base, balance, and fader. I pushed the button "Sound" and none of those menus come up. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks again.

It takes no more than 10 minutes. 5 minutes if you've done it once.

Agreed it will take about half an hour your first time. It is more complicated then just 1 screw and pulling it out. Read a DIY it is more involved than most cars.

It took me about 2 minutes first time. Remove the liner screws near the lamp. Pull it out, put your hand in, and follow the wire down to the light. Pull it straight out of the light. Bring it up to the liner and install the new bulb. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. I did it in the parking lot of a car parts store in Bismark ND..

And the ski bag is one of those pull it out once to see what it's like, and after 30 minutes fighting to get it back in - never do it again.

Yeah, really.

Did you try pressing "SET" when you were in the sound menu? (Assuming you're talking a PCM..)

Awesome guys...Thank you. @deilenberger, when I pressed "Sound" nothing happened. No submenu, nothing. Maybe my PCM is not working properly. Will my warranty cover this kind of issues? It's been a month that I own my 2005 CTT with 80K.

The wierdest thing happened today. I was driving on the freeway with my AC on setting to 72Degree for 2 hours. It was pretty darn cold. All of sudden white smoke started to come out of the center vents and slowly seeping out from the I.P. in the middle of the speaker. However, the smoke had no electric or oil burn scent. It was like dry ice smoke, no odor. I quickly turn off the AC and than the white smoke started to dissapated. The ECONO was the only defaulted fan blowing. I stopped and check the engine...no oil burning and no electrical burning scent. Anyone been through this? Should I take it to the dealer and let them check on this? Will my warranty also cover this kind of problem? Thanks again fellas.

Thanks everyone for the tips. I replaced the side marker with a white xenon LED bulbs. They look great! It only took me 10 minute. Again thanks for the tip.
