I have my front pass. and rear driver markers out. How difficult are they to replace. Dealer wanted like 80 ballons to replace.

Not sure about the rear ones, but I just had to replace my front passenger-side marker lights a few weeks ago. It is not bad, I just had to purchase a 2-pack of bulbs at my local automotive store for a couple of bucks and I used a small straight-slot screwdriver on the forward side of the amber cover and pushed outward and rearward at the same time, and it kind of "popped off" slowly. Once you do one, you will see how easy it is, just don't get in a hurry and "pry" it off by using the painted part of the car to do it.

Good luck to you, I'm sure it will work out fine. I agree with you, there is no need to pay $80 for this service, that is just the stealership trying to make a dollar off of someone who is clueless. We don't put up with that here.

I can't change the bulbs on my 08'...the light housing is molded/glued shut. Do you guys have clear markers or do you have orange markers...? If you have clear and you can change the bulb...do you know if they will fit an 08'...?

btw...if these are the same as the 08'...DO NOT use a screw driver or any kind of tool...you will scratch your paint. Simply slide the marker horizontal (on the passenger size you slide it toward the back of the car and vice versa for the driver's side) and you will be able to pull it right now with your hands...no tools needed.
