Default How do I change the small headlight bulb?

The very little once on each corner.

Ive read some threads but i didnt understand it quite well. What bulbs do they use and how do you target it? I can do the fogs/low/highs but i cant find that ..

Reason i ask is because i got 8000k hid and jdm fog lights and that small light color ruins the look. Which is why i want to do LEDs

Thanks!

The bulb is #168 which I believe is a LED T-5 or a T-10. Its been a while since I ordered mine. To remove it the driver, and passenger side can be accessed 1 of 2 ways. 1 you can remove the headlight assembly or 2 you can remove the cover under the wheel well and it can be reached from there.

The light can be accessed from the wheel well. My small fog light bulb has been burned out for awhile, I want to replace it, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort.

How hard of a job is it to take off the wheel well? I'm not willing to remove the headlight assembly.

& those are called small fog lights?

The wheel well shouldn't take too long, I haven't done it myself, but it's probably a few screws.

I don't know if they even have an official name. I call them "small fog lights" since they come on when you turn the fogs on, and they are smaller than the other fog lights...lol
