open the trunk and remove the clips holding the carpet to the truck lid, pull back the carpet, and then the lights should be easy to access.

nope, no yellow clips on mine. just remove the carpet and twist the part that holds the bulb 1/4 counterclockwise. maybe you're messing with the wrong wires??? :gotme

The whole process just took me 5 minutes tops after reading this thread; now I don't have to worry about driving home at night whenever I pick up illegal drugs to smoke (enablers). Thanks NICO
