Then remove the rear seat cal and reach insde turn and disconnect the bulb and wiring and the pod comes out from the insde. Once you remove the screw it is loose. The front require you to remove the upper black cowl piece to the left and right of the dash. You'll have to loosen the upper parts of the left and right fairing to do this. Again once you have access a nice long phillips screwdriver should the two screws on each pod. one at he top and one at the bottom. Twist and remove the bulb and harness and the pod will come right out.
