corner light bulb swap
does anyone know how to swap the corner (nike shaped) light bulb? does the whole housing have to come out?? thanks in advance..

Best I have been able to tell, you have to remove The bumper to get at it
|
i believe just bumper..there is another post on here about it and what it looked like after. It is a must do, looking forward to doing mine after seeing that pic the user posted Search for "Nike"
|
i did it without removing the whole bumper.. remove the grill (1) 10mm socket. the remove the plastic clips holding grille on each corner.then its easy as pulling the grille forward gently as u release the locking tabs (4).. once the grille is out you'll see a plastic trim w foam tucked behind the bumper trim on either side of the grille opening.bend it down then you'll see 2 wiring harnesses unclip them or bend the metal tabs holding them in place an you'll see the bulb socket reach in an turn it counterclockwise an pop the socket out.

yeah there w there a few crossover bulbs that worked.. but try to find something that has plenty of side view leds bcuz the bulb goes in at a right angle. so if u use a bulb like the 1 i got (which has 8 smd leds on a flat top surface) the light appears dimmer bcuz it has to reflect b4 being seen.

would a T10 (same as the 194/168) work with this kind of depth I wonder?

If anyone does this take pictures!!!!!! Does anyone have a link for the PIAA bulbs? |
Is the PIAA bulb leds are regular? I like to replace with LEDs if possible.
Also, if someone is doing this, please take a few pics as you remove stuffs to get to it would help greatly. Thanks. |

|
