Just reach up between the muffler and the inner fender and turn the bulb fitting out of the housing. If you look up in there, it's no biggie. Having slender hands helps!

Damn missed an oppoutunity to have you rotate the fenders

Slender hands is the key, still not as much fun as installing headers.

Jacking up the car, then removing the rear wheel was the only way I could get to mine.

Anyone know what kind of bulb it takes?

I was looking on Sylvania's website and it said "Rear Sidemarker" bulb is a "24"

I've never heard of a "24" before, can someone verify?

I would go look on the bulbs case, but I havn't pulled it yet, and so far, EVERY bulb I've replaced the glass has twisted off and I've had to attack it to get the housing out.

Its the evaporative emmission control cannister. It is filled with activated carbon and holds gas fumes as the fuel system is not open to the outside air.

Kinky, thanks m8.

How would you get to the reverse lamp bulb thats right next to the side marker lamp? Cause that canister is right in the way... can't even see the housing.
