Default Headlight (side light) replacement



Does anyone know how how to access the yellow light in the top picture? As you can see in the second picture that light is out and need to be replaced. Also, does anyone know the name or model number of the bulb needed?

It's called a "peanut bulb". It fused on my car and I had plans on changing it myself, but my mechanic ended up doing it during a service visit. The bumper does not need to come off.

P.s. I would recommend polishing your head light lenses with a standard compound (found at Canadian tire, Walmart or any detailing store). Meguiars Ultimate polish is a good option. If you do not have a rotary polisher, you can get great results with a microfiber towel and some elbow grease.

You have to turn the wheels to the right and then in the front of the wheel you will see a plastic cover, you remove the 3 10 mm bolts, remove the cover and you’ll be there.
