Un-screw the cover (counter-clockwise) and push and turn lamp, remove and replace. Do you have an Operator's Manual yet?

If you turn on the high beams you will see a red light in the middle of a funny looking cap. (High beam indicator). Unscrew each of the caps you see like this. Behind them is a light bulb. Push in slightly and give it a quarter turn then pull it out. I ordered mine from 1000bulbs.com. I can get you the exact number if you need it.

Ether direction is fine, one just causes the bulb to break in your hand and gets blood on your carc. I wonder if the carc will get in your blood stream and cause some problems? Darn, now I have to go look at my truck to see what direction it is.

Counter clockwise to remove.
If anyone finds that thread or the blue covers let me know I want one and haven't been able to find them

Mine are red. I thought red was because it doesn't cause your eyes to dilate. I think blue is for the high cool factor.

Did they not discover that blue didn't affect your night vision as much as the red did?

I know doing stage work it is easier to read by blue light in a dark room than it is by red. I wonder if that had something to do with it. I wish I had blue lenses. Mine need replaced anyway as they are very brittle.

Well that was easy i didnt know you removed them from the front.
Well those Red LEDs suck, dont buy them, they have a plastic coating on the side which makes them dimmer then a stock bulb, i guess i reorder some white ones as that should work better.

As often as you have to change them, I'd stick with the plain old incandescent ones, much cheaper.
