Make sure you are twisting counterclockwise. You aren't going to break anything.

As if you were standing in the engine bay and facing the front of the car.

What color are you putting in? I assume the legality of the color of blinker lights is specific to the state where I reside?

yeah, make sure you're turning the bulbs counterclockwise. also, for the passenger side parking bulb, I had to remove the coolant reservoir to get at it

That bulb is garbage...you'll be very disappointed in the output. Go with this:
http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-B...04828-1-2.html

Those are what I have right now. They are the largest bulb you can fit in our housing and I am very pleased with the output. Note that they are sold by the pair...so 14 bucks for a pair is actually competitively priced.

He's looking for parking lights. He should be fine with anything other than red/blue.

Red would look badass but is highly illegal. I dabbled with the idea but decided it wouldn't be worth being paranoid about cops all the time.

Surf vleds site. I'm sure they have them in red.
