Thanks for the DIY writeup JKweezy. Was wondering what bulb size was it? Need to buy some and do it to my car. Not liking the orange/yellow look. So are you going to do one for the flood lights? =)

Believe it's 194/168... there's a thread in the 2nd gen IS forum where someone listed all the bulb info for exterior and interior bulbs...

Did u mean fog lights? If u meant DRL, i showed u how to access the headlight... it's just a matter of u accessing the bulb right below the parking light...

I want to upgrade the fogs, just haven't gotten to it... we'll see... people have discussed how to do it... some say removing the bumper, while others have said u can do it through the wheel well... search is your friend... that's what i've been doing...

Really well done write up. I used this to help me change out my parking lights after I got the dealer to switch off my DRL's and I replaced my parking lights with blue LED's from iJDMToy. I know it's illegal so I'm hoping not to get a ticket but it looks cool. Still can't figure out how to post a pic in this without just giving a link...grr

JKweezy is correct - in my 2014 manual it's on page #37 - Section 1-2... Switching the door unlock function. Basically you press and hold your key fob buttons in the right sequence and you switch between Driver's door unlock only and All doors unlock.

Thanks for the write up... one of my bulbs burnt out a month or two ago so I've been needing to replace both. Does anyone know for sure what size bulb this is? 194?

nice write up, will this process help (give more room) in changing out the front indicator bulbs? or would they be just as difficult to locate and replace?
