    I was able to replace mine by starting at the rear and using my (medium sized) hands to press the tab on the bed side. Thanks for this tip!

    Hahaha I have small hands and both were bloody and hurting for a few days after. Hopefully these LEDs last the life time of the vehicle.

    1. Yup! This is exactly what I did too. It took over a half hour to do one side from under the bumper. Wow really? The other side took 1 minute! Popped out the lense with a plastic tool, changed the bulb, popped it back in. Super easy. Live and learn I guess!:annoyed:

    The red on license plate area might not be so legal...red and blue, or just red...police and emergency vehicles...just saying
