It liked to have killed me doing it the OEM way, but unless you want to take your car apart that's the way. For short fingers it's harder!

Instead of going through all that trouble, why not just pop off the front bumper? It takes about 10 mins off, 10 mins on, I'd say.

I've looked everywhere too and couldn't find a replacement so I put a red gel bulb cover over the rear turn signal bulb just to be different. Look in the rice section in the auto parts store they are just a couple bucks.

You don't need to take off anything but the two plastic clips holding the plastic wheelwell liner. Turn the front of your wheel all the way to the inside , with a small hand and some patience turn the bulb 1/4 turn counterclockwise it comes right out. I've done it a few times and now I'm really fast at it. I put a four cluster led as my parking light. ( $8.99 at Autozone) Good luck!

Hi Wantone,

I have replaced those bulbs on both sides om my car 4 times(!!!)

From white to amber (in US) and than from amber to white (here in Holland) from white to white LEDs and last August went back to the original white bulbs (or rather the clear bulbs).

Turn the wheel completely inwards on the side you need to change it and pop out the clips (you need a small flat screwdriver for that) and try to pull/pry the black lining over the inward ridge of the front bumper. You need to pull HARD, because it pops over the edge quite difficult, but I've never managed to damage anything (in normal warm weather the black plastic is flexible enough and no scratches on the paintwork, because the all the plastic is smooth anyway).

Have fun!
