I've searched and searched.....still cant find anything how to change this bulb (#168).

I saw it from the top, but can't figure out how to take it out...the space is just too tight, especially the driver side (battery get in the away)

Booyah

Not sure!

But can you please tell me how to get the parking light bulb out (the dim lite) that comes on with parking lights and headlights? I believe its the white connector one in your picture--its a differant connectore for sure and Im not sure how to get it out? push pull turn....lol whats the secret

Booyah, you mean this one ?

this is just crazy, seems like I have to take out the whole bumper & headlight to change all bulbs

Booyah

No not that one! its a 194 bulb and its the parking light one--its a very dim light when on and its got a different looking connector---its right beside the HIGH beam bulb..lol

Booyah that is the one circled with red. That is the smallest of all the total 4 Bulbs which comes onto the headlamp.

I think you can get to it from underneath the truck. Not sure if you don't have to unscrew the plastic cover in the wheel well. I can't remember, but I think thats how I got to it, between the fender and the engine bay.

Booyah

No! The circled one is the turn bulb! Look down and to the left of the red circle in that pict--thats the 194 parking light--I cant figure how that connector comes off as its differant that the others.

I want to know how to get the connector off the one thats Beside the High beam bulb in that picture--its the parking light (dimest bulb)

Is this for my question or for Boooyah ? underneath the truck ?? how in the world my arms able to reach the headlight from underneath the truck ??

should i just take the bumper off ?? then unscrew all headlight and change it that way ?

Booyah

If you have long arms I think you can do it not sure? Easiest way would be to take the light assy out--2 screws and it should pop out.


Ill look at mine tonight and see what I think on that bulb you are trying to get out--

Headlights (Hi/Lo) are accessible from the engine compartment.

really ? i did that last night and the headlight didnt move at all. there is gotta be another screw around the bottom area of the headlight...

yes, please Sir Booyah, that would be awesome!!! im trying to avoid stupid silly ticket from police in case they found out our "signal bulb" is out

Booyah

I Just talked to my Lexus mechanic and the BUMPER has to be removed to get the light assy out--WOW--Security reasons for theft!!!

Also he said you can get to all those bulbs from the top to replace them? although I can go underneath and reach a few of them...lol

So give it another whirl---

hmm i guess the battery need to be taken out then ? i was able to reach it (barely) but I dont know how to pull it out

Booyah

Usually all those are twistie type connectors--twist and pull out. try and look at it to make sure first.

this DIY shows you how to do the one that you DON'T want to change but it has pics and may help.

if all else fails you can remove the cover that goes over the radiator. i'm not sure if the pins that hold it in are the ones that you pry straight out or if they're the ones that you have to pop the center of the pin in and then pry them out. when i installed my HIDs i obviously removed the cover and putting the HID bulbs and ballasts in were a piece of cake. not exactly the info you're looking for but it'll definitely help.

and they're all the "twistie" type
