DRL bulb replacement?

I couldn't find information in the owners manual on how to replace the daytime running light bulbs. Before I jack something up, would someone be so kind as to shed some light on this procedure.
TIA

You can push the brake duct off and reach them that way. The official way is to remove a panel underneath the car on either side.

I put in the switchback ones last year- I know I didn't jack up the car to do it- I think I put headlights up- then removed the housing around them- and that way I was able to reach them from above.

That is the easiest way imho... takes 2 minutes.

I've gone in through the brake duct, but it is pretty skinny in there. Best have skinny hands to do that.

My brother-in-law can, but I cannot, my forearms are to big. The brake duct works for me and it's fast.
