nope just need to replace the bulb
I did mine a few months ago, it was annoying. I did it at the same time i was changing out a busted headlight lens. As far as i remember, you have to take the entire grill off to get at them. Be really careful when you pop open the plastic tag things that hold the grill on, they break very easily since they're old weather worn plastic. I think i ended up ruining about half of mine....sheesh.
good luck!

thanks man appreciate it,
Open the hood.
Look down where marker light is you will see a screw.
This screw holds the upper part of the assembly in place.
Take screw out.
The upper part of assembly should be lose at this point.
At the bottom rear of the side marker light assembly ( where you can not see)there is a barb that holds the assembly in place. It is like an expanded nipple that fits in a plastic receiving hole.
It must be pulled forward to disengage it's grip. It can be stuborn.
There is also a tab at the bottom of the assembly that sits just inside the fender opening that the marker light assembly fits into.
Sounds like a lot but is not the toughest thing is getting the expaned nipple to let go. Once you do that it is a breeze.
You do not need to remove the grill. It is a Pita.
Hope this helps you.
