Mine popped out of the bumper easy enough but they are not coming apart its almost looks like a sealed unit that you replace the whole thing ??

I'll dig into it some more when I get back home around the middle of the week..

Thanks for the replies.

Twist them counterclockwise and hold the front light. They do come apart!

I finally got them apart and it was pretty simple (thanks again), only problem is the LED's I bought are too big.... . So this mod is still not completed..

No big deal I'll use them in the Peterbilt..

Too big as in too tall?? If they are just tall I may have a solution... Mine were too tall but simple trimming and fits like a glove. . If they are big though or the wrong lights...

They should be the 194 T10

Too long or tall they need to be shorter so I can screw the harness back in..

Ok so all I did was take my knife and simply trim part of the body away on both sides. It took me literally 15 seconds haha. I tried for like 30 min trying to jam these lights into the housing before I decided to cut them. Both work great now! . You might still have to put some force into getting the socket to twist back in place...but nothing compared to them not being trimmed. Hope this helps!
