You will need a small child.

Really. They are idiotically designed and one of those "should last past the warranty" kind of things Toyota increasingly employs, GM-style. I had to get a neighbor with small hands to do it.

I think the factory method is to remove the bumper cover, radiator/grill inner trim, then headlight housing.

Easiest way is to turn the wheel all the way inwards, remove a few rivets from the wheel well, and you should be able to reach the bulb. It's a 194 bulb, I run 7.5W ijdmtoy LEDs in there, will match your xenon nicely. I routed them to the turn signal area for a while as DRLs before my quad projector upgrade, now they're back in the original spot.

nice where did you get the clear side markers and did you just take that top light and place it in the turn light/ high beam area ?

Thanks. I got them on eBay, which is the only place I have found them for sale.

That's what I did, there are some details in the thread I linked. I did put them back in the original place since though for now.
