yeah, you need to replace the bulb, their is a plasctic access pannel that i removed to get to it from under the car, had the car up on ramps, im sure someone will give yo a better answer. I replaced my running lights with red bulbs, its subtle and looks cool. Good luck

You are correct, your bulb needs to be replaced. You have three choices for the swap. You can remove the panel under the nose, you can go in through the front brake duct inside the wheel well or you can raise the headlight and just work your arm down to the bulb socket. The third option is the one that I have used. It is a tight squeeze but I can just manage to get my arm in there.

You might want to remove the black bezel around the light also, makes it a little easier to get your arm in there. I had to in order to fit my arm in. A little KY might help you to slide you arm in also.
