Default How to replace bulbs on GS430

Can anyone post a diagram that shows how to replace the front bulbs on the GS (high beam, DRL, fog, etc.) I have purchased LEDs, but am having trouble opening up the plastic covering from the engine and have no idea on how to reach the fog light bulb.

Please post some instructions that will guide me through the whole process of replacing these bulbs.

You have to go thru the fender lining to get at the fogs, its not for the faint-of-heart . . .

Question more questions

Hello,
Thanks for the fog light info but I could not find any replacement instructions for the front parking light (the one which lights up with low beams and is located in the high beam housing) as well. I did remove the "stick" and the bulb does not look like my 194 led replacement at all. Does anyone know how to remove it? Is it really 194 bulb? It does look like a long cylinder made of black plastic with a glass on top of it.

Another question. Are the rear side markers led? If not, which type are they?

Thank You

The bulb is at the end of that long plastic stick. 194 is a wedge bulb, just yank it right out.
