Help how to install parking lights.

I got these new LEDs for my parking lights (see thread LED Parking lights...Pics). I asked for help there but to no avail that's why new topic. I figured out where they are but can't seem to get the proper grip to get them out. Any tips on how to do it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

just use a needle nose plier and reach in from the rear of the light when your hood is popped.

I finally did it! I just needed to understand the concept of what to do. The socket needed to be turned counterclockwise, at first I thought it just needs to be pulled out and since it's hard to get to I couldn't understand that. All you need to do is put one finger on top of the socket and the other on bottom and push in opposite directions. Hope this helps to whoever has problems with this too.

Here's a picture that shows the difference over stock (Sorry for dirty car).

I think the pic pretty much explains why. Looks great.

You 06+ guys have it a lot easier than us 04-05 owners. You gotta pop out the entire housing to get to the 194 parking lights on ours.
