Each side has 2 screws, then they should rock outward (not strait back) that's it.

Take the screws out, pull straight back. They have extra clips to hold them in.

Sorry, I thought they tipped outward. I have never had to do mine yet, I just thought they looked like the type that did.

Those lenses can be STIFF the first few times you pull them off. I used a wedge to pry them out (CAREFULLY) and they just pop out. (after you undo the screws).

You just have to yank it out. Don't worry you won't break it. :)

Straight out. VERY hard the first time.

My wife's MPV on the other hand, needed to go out by prying them outboard!. I tried pulling straight back and broke one! DOH!

Hi yes they come straight out. they have 2 rivet type deals going into plastic clips on the body. I felt like i was going to snap something though. Kind of neat how the have the three individual bulbs that screw out with no wires on them. there is one main wire connector that doesn't connect to any lights just the housings.Thanks for your help. I went back out after the first post. :wink:
