Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the side marker lights. They're the little orange lights below the headlight on the side. The only tool you'll need is a 13mm wrench. In this video I show you it from the bottom. If you want to, you can jack up and secure your vehicle. That will make it a little easier, but otherwise you can probably do it by feel once you know what you're looking for.

Up under here, it's pretty easy to see. You see there's a connection right here. I turn it counter clockwise and pull it out. There's your side marker bulb, you pull that straight out and back in if you're just looking to change the bulb. Put it back in and clockwise to lock it.

If you need to change this full assembly because it's been broken, these are just 13 millimeter speed nuts. That comes out, and to replace it, just reverse. Put the light back in place and then these nuts are designed to thread right onto the plastic so you can start them on. Then push on them as you're tightening them up. Now just reinstall that.

We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.
