Default take of the access cover. stick your hand down there. turn. pull....

from experience (and SEVERAL sets of bulbs) i strongly suggest you only run OEM bulbs in that spot.

anyway to convince you to post threads like the rest of the group?

Default Ok I'll try again this afternoon after work. Is there...

a tab or anything that needs to be pushed in, in order for the cover to budge and turn to pull off?

I tried to turn and one of the plastic fins snapped.

What's your suggestions on posting like the rest of the group?
