I assume you mean the parking bulbs?

The above pic is the driver's side headlight for reference, looking at it from behind
1. Part #14/15
2. Take off engine covers
3. The parking bulb socket is gray and angled towards the middle of the car


If your talking about the side marker lamp (#6/7) you're gonna have to take out the liner from the wheel well to get to it or otherwise remove your headlamp assembly.

Good luck,

Craig

Yep, no prob.

I think there are a few fellas that have changed to LEDs -using 194 bulb (only have about 13 mm or so of width, so can't use giant sized bulbs.)

I plan on putting some higher powered LEDs in the next few days

Hey Craig,

Would you know what LED bulb can be used to switch out the Side Markers? on both the front and rear of the car? Its about the only lights left I have that are not LED's.

Thanks

the ones i posted are pretty good they are CREE LEDs which are brighter IMO than the SMD LEDs that i had previously. I had a 28 SMD LED bulb for the parking bulbs but they starting burning out way to quick on me so i went with the ones i have linked above.
