Any recommendations as to a better bulb than stock? Thanks! 98 Silver Frost SVT "I was doing fine until I ran out of talent." "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how drunk you get."

To get to the back of the housing you'll have to pull off the little black cover from the underside of the car. There's a little square piece that you can pull of on both sides just behind the lights. Hope this helps.

My is a CSVT and you must remove the splash guard screws first (Torx), then you can reach your arm up and twist the lamp to free it. Easy to do. Insert the replacement lamp and twist it into place. Replace the spash guard. Cake! 1998.5 Contour SVT - Silver Frost Metallic/Midnight Blue - 64K miles.
