1.) Pull out the actual plug from the bulb. There's the wiring, and then there's the housing. Pull out the wiring. It comes out pretty easily.
2.) Get a pair of needlenose pliers and make sure one side is on the outside of the housing and one side on the inside. Like seen below.

3.) Now twist in the appropriate direction. It actually tells you which direction to twist in the manual, but I can't really remember off the top of my head right now. Be carfeul to get a full grip on the housing though, or else you may end up cracking it.
4.) If you twisted in the right direction, the housing should pop out pretty easily.
5.) All you need to do now is pull the OEM bulbs STRAGIHT out. And replace them with the LED cluster.
6.) Now all you need to do is repeat the process in reverse and your done.

I was bored today and changed out my parking lights to green to match my interior lights. It took about 10 mins. for both. Super easy to do. I already had the bulbs because I was going to use the green for my rear license plate lights. But in CA, you can't have anything but white or amber. I tested the parking lights tonight and it looks niiice IMO. I took pix, so I'll post some in my Profile later. Both the parking lights and rear plate lights are super easy to change. Just refer to p.230-232 in your Owner's Manual.
