I changed ot out today from the top side. Pretty easy that way. Only had to pull the bezel and then the 4 screws for the cover and that gave enough room to reach down and pull the bulb.
The seal is still perfect. I'll decide on a set of clear lights and LED's, and probably just get halo tails and a set of clear side markers so I just do it all at once.

drl....replaced and disabled.
Mine have been acting up lately too. I knew the sockets where in bad shape from the last time I changed the bulbs. So I got new clear lenses and had them tinted. Also got new sockets from autozone for 8.99 each and soldered them in with heat shrink tubing and put the wires in that black wiring haness tubing. Looks better then new! I am debating on getting the LED switchbacks....but I would have to get the harness or the load resistors to keep it from hyperflashing. So for now I just pulled the #2 fuse to keep the DRL's off during daylight hours. I think the car looks better that way anyway.

You need to use long life bulbs or 3157NAK bulbs in these to last. I once paid $10 for a 3157NAK bulb from Dealer (Stealer), but it did last. I've only changed 2 bulbs in 9 years and 94,000 miles.
