Replacing 98 GS wedge in hi-beam and rear parking light later today
I've got a set of PIAA white/white LED's for my 98's nighttime running lights (the wedges) in the hi-beam housing. I've done some searching and am not coming up with any how-to info on accessing the bulbs. I know this info's got to be out there, I just can seem to come up with it. Maybe it's just one of those mornings.
Any advice?
Also, one of my top bulbs in my rear taillights (the top parking light one) is out. I've got an oem replacement set of bulbs. My guess is check the trunk liner and try to get access behind the liner. Haven't looked yet, but any advice if needed for that would be appreciated as well.
Thanks all, I apologize if these are obvious, I really did try searching first.

I can help you out with the task of changing the tailight bulb(s). Here's a link showing the how-to of accessing the bulb (courtesy of BananaGS):

Thanks rominl, I tried to do the wedges yesteday. I got the passenger's side without too much trouble. The driver's side took some skin off my hands, and the led bulb came out of the housing while I was trying to get it in place. I lost the bulb in the black plastic area just inside of the entry hole but before the silver headlight housing lining. Tried jacking the car up to move it around in there so I could get it, but no luck. So, I'm running with only passenger side done until I can get more leds delivered. I'd like to retrieve the bulb though, so I'll be putting some time into that today.
For what it's worth, I do prefer the white/white piaa led to the stock bulb. Much better match for my oem hids.
