It's not really too tough....hope this helps!
I was able to remove the parking lamps without disassembling the housings to install leds, but if I had to do it again, I'd follow the service manual. I was unable to get a full 90 degree twist on reassembly.

When I finally do get around to taking them all the way off, can the bottom 2 screws be reconfigured to be posts intead of a true screw assembly? Or will it vibrate too much?
