I bought 194 leds for my parking lights. I pretty much tried twisting and turning the socket for almost 1 hour w/o success. It wont even budge! I have an 06 and I noticed when I tried it w/ my buddies 05 the sockets were different and little easier to twist. Any suggestions???

I will be honest with you my first 2 copers where dead easy. My 05 S was very difficult (until I'd done it a few times). You just have to make sure your turning it anti clockwise (if the back is facing you - which it won't be

)

The sockets for my 06 were also very difficult to turn the first few times. I think I ended up using a tiny (3/8 ?) end wrench to turn them.
