Just open the trunk, pry the cover open (1 piece of plastic cap), and turn and pull out the bulb. Very easy to do.

Thanks for the answer JUNJDM.

Do you have any day time pics?
I could easily notice a car behind with DRL regardless of distance.
I wonder LED DRL is powerful enough so that it is noticeable in california day light.

Yes it should work.. Just make sure you get the right bulb for the 2nd Gens... I originally got the idea from the IS forum so it should work. Make sure you get the module to prevent the flickering...

Nice...looks like alot of glare with them LEDs in the DRL/high beam.

Got any pics of high beams ON? Any chance of them blowing with High beams are ON due to the higher wattage?

If you did this mod, high beams will lose it's function.

I will try to get pics of the DRLs during the day next time I see my friend.

During the day it looks really good.....I could see them off other cars reflection as I drive up behind them. They are noticeable during the day! Which is what I really love about them.....

This is a bad picture, but you get the idea....

It will work for sure on your 2nd Gen GS, just make sure you order the right fitment/bulb size for it. I believe its the same as the 3rd Gen GS which is 9005.

Just pop the trunk open, and right where the reverse bulb is located there is a clip that you pop off, u will see the bulb underneath, just twist and turn the bulb out. Then pull it off to replace.....very simple.
