Default Swoosh lights

Does anyone know how to change the LED bulb on the swoosh (the check looking thing below the headlight)? I'm not sure what it's actually called, hehe.. Anyways, I want to change it to a different color that's why.

They are called daytime running lights and I think the only color you can have is yellow or white. This depends on your state law.

But how do you replace the bulb though? Over here in Guam, we're not allowed to have blue or red on the headlights. I want it to look like the attached picture below.

I'm not sure on how to replace the bulb, but there is a film you can put over them to change the color. Changing the bulbs will be very tedious as it is difficult to get access to the lights. Here is a link of someone that used a film: http://www.rc350forum.com/forum/new-...mod-today.html

Default LED Swoosh






The LED "swoosh" is a sealed unit design. It does not allow bulb swaps. To remove unit you have to drop the bumper cover. It's attached with screws from the inside of the cover.

Oh wow! that does look tedious and hard to replace. I probably will try the tinted film then. Thanks for the info!
