Default How do I change side bulb.

The little bulb inside the headlight, on the side, one that illuminates yellow reflector went out. Do I have to remove the headlight to get to it? How hard is it to remove the headlight if I do have to do it?

Thanks

I mean side marker bulb. Its the smallest one if you look from the side of the car. It illuminates a yello reflector inside the housing.

No headlight doesnt need to be removed, if i remember correctly its inside the headlight housing where the cap is.

I'd take a look but it is currently frigid outside. I would agree with GS350Lexus its gotta be inside the housing.

Actually....... its a same big plastic thing that you used to take out the parking lights in the DRL. Its on the side on top, nothing to do with the housing. K lets imagine the passenger headlight is shinning at me, on the right is the big plastic thingy for the 194 DRL led u installed, in the middle is the hid and on the left side hiding near where you put in a screw driver to adjust lights its right there. Im sorry its late, if you don't understand what I mean ill snap a quick pic for you tommorow.
