Default DIY - Parking/Running Light LED replacement

Tools Used: 1)Flat Head Screwdriver
2)Pliars (not needed if you have extreme grip with your index finger and thumb)

Step 1: Turn the wheels to allow for most room. Driver side turn wheel all the way to the rght and passenger side turn all the way to the left.

Step 2: Use flat head screw driver and carefully slide it under the middle cap and rotate it clockwise and counter clockwise to gently pry it up. Remove the clip and then where the front brumper cover meets the fender there is an opening to pull back the inner fender cover. You don't need to pull it all the way out and I posted a pic of what I did with a flashlight and towell.



Step 3: The base indicated in the picture needs to be turned counter clockwise ON BOTH SIDES. It is a pain in the... PITA. I used pliars and electrical taped the end of them so they didnt scratch it too bad. Twist counter clockwise and pull out.



Step 4: Pull out the stock bulb and put in the LED. Before reinserting the lamp turn on the Runninbg Lights to make sure the LED lights up. If not, rotate the bulb. Put the lamp back and rotate clockwise.
