Hello Everyone:
Just wanted to introduce myself, I just sold my '04 Escalade (had horrendous payments and lost my ass on the sale, but oh-well as they say!) and purchased cash a pristine 2002 DeVille, simply in an effort to downsize a bit, but still keeping the prestige of a Caddy at the same time.
Everything works great, however, I have one bulb on the driver side over the license plate that is out, and I've already purchased the bulbs to install. Model 194 bulb I believe. I know this is quite the repetitive question, however, I have done extensive research and searches on how to change it out and I have bascially arrived at a dead-end...
In a few threads ive read to simply "press the right side of the lens to pop it out, then change the bulb", however looking at the entire casing around the bulb it appears as theres no where to "press" the lens out, it appears to be completely stationary and completely impossible to budge. Although, it does appear it's meant to be changed by this method because there is a small "clip" in the housing of the actual bulb that can be accessed once the lens is removed. Once this clip is pressed inward I would assume the whole assembly would pop out, allowing for the bulb to be changed with much ease. But again, the lens appears to be completely in-place and nothing can be done to detach it without possibly breaking it... Or am I just not pressing hard enough??
On the other hand I've also attempted (the MUCH more difficult method, to no avail) to remove trunk lid lining and access it that way, however with all the metal plating and tiny holes everywhere it appears as thou this is not the correct method to access the bulb housing.
So bascially Im at a Loss... If anyone can please reply to me with precise instructions on how to do this it would be MUCH appreciated, going into as much detail as possible, as I have never been "mechanically inclined" so to speak... In other words I never excelled in Shop class I suppose you could say =)... Thank you for your time.
