Don't know the whole procedure,,but for starters,,get the front end up and each side has a flat panel that covers the opening and the front brake cooling ducts. That is how I changed my running/turn signal bulbs and fog lights. I'm sure others will chime in,,and they SHOULD include directions. That looks like a pretty good deal!!

Take the access panel off that is located right under the front fascia on each side and then you will have access to the corner lights.

That would be how I'd try it.

When I did mine a few years ago I used Pewter99's directions. Very simple if you follow them. One thing. If you replace the bulbs test to make sure you have them in the correct way, not 180* out, it's easy to change the bulb around while the access panels are removed.

PS. I used clear/amber 194 bulbs for the side, and switchback LED's for the front. No egg yolk look like using amber bulbs. If you do decide on the switchbacks you'll need a load equalizer so you don't get hyper flash.
