Unhappy How to replace lights?

I bought some new bulbs for my '99 pro (fear-not, no increase in wattage), but when I went to install them, I couldn't figure out how to get the old ones out. I'd replaced a few on my old Mazda ('87 323!!), so I expected they'd pop out the same way. But I started feeling like I was forcing something and aborted. Any tips on this??

I looked there...I really did...

So, ok, I looked again...page by page...doh!!

Hint for any who come this way -- check the index for "Bulb Replacement"

Thanks for the quick help!

It should be there but anyways I have a 99 too and this is how you do it. First you have to take the black connector out and you do this by squeezing on the sides of it that should com loose. Then you remove the plastic rounded thing that cover the bulb housing and then all you will have left is the bulb and a tiny metal bracket that is around it, you also squeeze it and should let the bulb come loose. I hope this makes sense and helps but if you still have questions you can pm me.
