im guessing your too scared to try it on your own. just pop the hood and slide them out.

They really are pretty easy. Raise the hood and hold the new next to the old and look at the tab(s) that hold it in place.(you'lle see them) I think there is only one and it doesn't hold much....

I know because...........

and for the sidemarkers, you just unscrew the ones that are on there, slide them out, and slide the new ones back in, tighten down the screw, and your set

Actually since his car is a 98 there is no screw. You just put slight pressure on the sidemarker (pushing it in) and slide it either right or left depending which side of the car you are dealing with, squeeze and twist the bulb out then put the new clear sidemarker in and then back-track. It is pretty simple. As for the front blinker, be careful, it is very easy to break the clip.
