Tips on changing DRL bulbs?
My hands are too big so going through the brake duct vent is not an option. My minions aren't home either so I can't use their little hands?

Remove the headlight bezels (3 screws) and the hood support bumpers as noted above. You'll be able to reach right down to the top of the corner light housing . The DRL bulbs mount from the top. The socket holder has a spring lock, just squeeze it with your fingers and turn the bulb socket.

If all else fails, take off the access panels under the front fascia and you have full access to the back of the light housings.

Most sockets become brittle and overheated from the stock lamps. Why not drop in some switchback led's and a hyperflash harness...They should last a lifetime, look better and will save your sockets unless it's too late.

I used Pounders plans as a guide and tweaked a little. See link to Pounders post below.
