How do I change out the lights?
I feel dumb for asking this so here it is. Today I got some of the Sylvania SilverStar lights and some lights to replace the hideous orange glow of the parking lights. Problem is I can't figure out how to change out the bulbs , anyone have some insight? I'm an Army Infantryman so breaking things is a large part of what I do so I figured why not ask first. Thanks in advance for your responses.

you have to take out three screws. There are two on top and one behind the rubber air dam thing (dont know exactly what to call it). You have to take the clip out of the rubber and then fold it back. You will find the screw there.
once those three screws are out then you have to pull the light out. It can be a little hard because it is snapped in on the outside by some clips. Just give it a good pull STRAIGHT OUT.
Once you get that out then just unscrew the bulb and switch them out.
All of this is in your owners manual as well. You should read that just to make sure there is not something funky on your truck, compared to mine. Also I think they have some pictures or diagrams that help.
