Can anyone tell me how the lens comes off to get at the bulbs. I see a black tab which I pulled but still won't come off.

1) there is a clip at the left end of the housing - push to right and the housing should start to come down, you may have wiggle the clip to get the housing moving.

2) housing will pull out with the wires still attached to the socket, gently turn the socket to remove it from the housing.

3) Remove stock 194 bulb by pulling straight out. Replace with 194 LED, push in until tight. Re-connect socket with housing, turning socket until it locks in the housing

4) Re-seat housing in the bumper, clip goes on the left, until housing is flush & secure.

5) Repeat 1-4 with the other side. REMEMBER - there are two (2) bulbs/housing so you need to be sure you order two 194s from wherever you purchase.
