Default How do I change my turn signal housing? & Put some HID/ or LED's in

Well I just put my HID's in my lowbeams and they look sick, I bought some for the fogs as well but won't get them for a few days. I also bought these black turn signal housings that I cant figure out how to install... Well technically I can't get the damn stock ones out. Obviously you gotta pull the headlights, right? After that how do I get them out? Also how can I make them look almost like an HID, I could use LED's correct? Anyone got a exact bulb size? Thank you...

basically get under the car, unhook your front air dam... and stick your arm up in there, your going to have to find 2 little screws on the back of the signal

you wont be able to see them... then find the appropriate socket/screw driver and unscrew them...

and yes you can use led replacements for your signals... cant say the EXACT bulb size though

From what Ive seen no, however, I have a 95, but from what I understand the set up is almost identical

Im not a big guy, so I didnt even have to get the car up off the ground

If I remember correctly you can get to the screws from the top by taking out the headlights. I just smoked mine a few months back and I didn't get under the car that I can remember.

You don't have to remove the headlights just lay down on the ground under the turn signal n you will see a plastic lid or little door if u wanna call it you just gotta take off a couple screws n it opens up so u can get your arm in there under the housing! You might wanna jack up the car a bit to get a bit more arm room! Then the housing has 2 screws to remove.
