Hi, I'm Don from 1AAuto. I hope this helpful video helps you out. The next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to service a little safety side marker light for the front fender. These are sealed units so if one of them is out, you need to replace it with a whole entire unit. It's pretty easy. You'll need a Philips screwdriver, a flat blade screwdriver. There are three clips. You can see two black clips lower down. There's three clips and one screw you'll have to remove in order to access the back of the rear of your front fender. Pull the inner fender out, reach behind, release that clip and then pull your inner fender the rest of the way out.

Now, looking up inside, you can see the back of the light and the tab you have to squeeze. Squeeze the tab and pop the light out and you can see here, there's the tab you squeeze, pop it out and then on the connector, there's a little tab, squeeze and disconnect. Install the new one, just reverse. Plug it back in, put the slot in first and snap it in and then put the inner fender back in place with the clip on and re-secure the clips. You pull the center out of the little clips, pull the center out a little bit, push the clip in and then push the center in the lock and then put the screw back into that middle clip.
We hope this helps you out.
