Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
Push the bulb in a little bit, and turn it counter-clockwise about 1/16 of a turn.
When you put the new bulb in, be sure to get the little 'ti<x>ts' on the outside oriented the right way.

If its the one on the fender, take it out of the fender, its a small 194 bulb, grab it with two fingers and PULL,,simple as that, take the new bulb stick it in, and your done, if you are changing the housing to a clear lenz, take it out of the fender, the socket will rotate one way or another, pull it out and stick the clear lens on. done.
