Make sure your ccorner turn signals in the front have yellow bulbs and reflectors. DOT regulations require the front signals to be yellow.

Hey...quick question. Do you have to bake your headlights (to peel back plastic covering) to change lightbulbs? Or is there another method...

no when i replaced them when one burnt out i just accessed them and pulled the one out and popped the new one rite in....
....my model does require me to take out the battery for the passenger side in order to get to the headlight
