Lol go to the store to get some just to get me by and the 194s are all out. Last time I went to get a tail light bulb for the GS it was out too. These are common bulbs Grrrr. It's pretty bad when you have to go to multiple stores for couple dollar bulbs. Advanced auto in the morning it is lol

Anyone know of any videos or a photo documented process for replacing the driver's side 194 bulb?

I HATE to bump an old thread like this, but my parking light bulb just popped on the driver’s side. I scratched up my hands trying to get the bulb out because my hands are so large. I even attempted to create clearance by removing the high beam bulb, but no luck. Maybe I can try to use my daughter’s hand once she returns home from college...well until then, I pulled the passenger’s bulb so that both headlights are uniform. I’ll see how it looks at night but I may just keep the bulb out since it doesn’t really serve a true purpose.

Just created a guide, try this to make it work. You need a bit of strength to undo the bayonet socket and pull it out.

It can definitely be a bear if you have large hands. I finally got mine but tore my hand up a bit. Glad I did b/c they look pretty good at night when you change them out to LED's.
