    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    My 02 the bulbs are the wedge type that you push in or pull out. No turning to remove bulbs.

    Click my build thread!
    Take the cover off and just pull the bulbs out, I just replaced mine with LEDs the other day.

    No cover needed to be taken off then harness and housing came out from the underside that twist off from the bumper and the bulb is a wedge type.

    I dont think the bulbs have ever been changed, the whole half ball light came out but I can't find a way to get to the bulb without breaking anything.
