Really cool, I've always been a fan of amber turn signals out back.
Same, they're the reason I sought these out specifically, and if you've ever happened to see the technology connections video on it, they're also simply superior lol

Here's another angle that's easier to see btw

How hard are those to change? I need to do that on the big truck....just haven't wanted to take it apart till I knew how!
The 3rd brake light? 2 screws to remove plastic lens. The bulbs were a pia to remove until I tried @df2x4 method. Find the stickiest tape, wrap around bulb and gently wiggle till bulb comes out.

Yeah, the bulbs wanna break if you're not careful, and it's tough to be careful when you're fighting those bulbs! They're a tight fit and there's not much to grip them by, so the tape can definitely help.

Also be sure when re-installing the lens to tighten the screws carefully. The plastic is brittle and really easy to break if you over-tighten the screws, then the lens won't stay on anymore as the little donut of plastic behind the screw pops right off.

I went through this when I replaced mine with an LED housing. Got lucky and stopped after it cracked a little but before it actually broke. I get a little moisture in the housing some mornings, waiting for it to die before I replace it again lol

Might as well do both while you're at it. Gotta figure they have a similar lifespan and illuminate at the same time, so the other bulb isn't far behind.

First time I removed my lens I noticed one of the screws had a plastic washer. I replaced both with these small rubber washers that both seal and maybe dampen over-tightening the screw.
