2002 X-TYPE How to replace the bulb on the rear side marker sounds simple but i cant see it top bottom or inside thanks

 

Jack, if you look at the light, you will notice that one end is pointed and the other is "flat". What you want to do is to take a large flat bladed screw driver and put some masking tape over the end of the screw driver (this is to protect your paint). Now, put the flat part of the screw driver against the flat end of the marker light. Now, move the screw driver about a 1/4" towards the pointy end of the marker (you will feel it hit a stop, do not go any further) and then pull the marker light out towards you a little bit. That should allow you to access the back of the marker light and change out the bulb. Putting it back in is fairly easy. You will notice that one end had a hook and the other end has a metal spring clip. Slide the hook under the body panel and then push the clip into the body of the car.
