Unhappy Parking lights replacement trouble!

I'm installing ARES' Parking LEDs. I am at the end point where I have to actually replace the LED with the normal parking lights. However, I don't really see a way to replace them. The normal parking lights seem to be one piece attached to the wires (green and black). How do I remove it? Someone help me out

p.s.--> I have already followed Ares' instructions, but in there it doesn't really explain how to replace the parking bulb.



Thank for any help provided

You have to pull the connector out after turning it counterclockwise. Then it should just come out

if its still in the housing, yeah, twist it like a quarter turn and itll pull out. then youll see the bulb, pull that out, put the LED bulb in, place it back into the housing and twist it back a quarter turn till it locks in.

I have the whole parking light isolated (I have already pulled it out of socket). All I see now is the green and black wires attached to the light bulb. I just need to know where I have to split the parking light from?

So I just pull out the bulb only? You mean the glass bulb part only because it is attached to the black plastic following it. Please explain in detail...thank

yeah pull the glass bulb, looks attached but its now, its got a wedge base in there. Ive heard others say it can be stubborn, so dont be afraid if it takes some force; but Id grab it with a towel or something so if you grab too hard and it breaks you dont cut yourself(no one has actually broken it that I know of).
