There are 2 ways I have found. One is to reach in the frt brake air intake hole and push the intake duct down and out of the way, then reach your hand in upside down thought the hole (a small hand helps) push the release tab and twist the socket out and pull it out through the intake hole and change the bulb and reassemble.
Another way is to raise the front of the car remove two 7mm bolts facing the front of the car on the lower portion of the wheel well, Then there are four or five 7 mm bolts vertically underneath just behind the lower air deflector extension. This removes a small panel underneath the front bumper allowing access to the parklamp area.
Hope that helps.....

It is now replaced. My friend came over for A visit and his kid's Jimmy 8 and Jason 12 changed the bulb without having to remove anything at all. Both of these kids are better mechinics then most dealers have. The skinny arms were A big help along with they knew how everything comes apart. They both work at A junk yard in the summer taking cars apart. Jason has been doing it for about 4 years. They both love cars and trucks and will someday be great Mechinics. :cheers: :cool: :flag
Last year they fixed the door on my Samuri Replaced the inner parts of the handle and latch and adjusted everything up like new.
I can't get them to wash the car even if I pay them.

I just replaced mine yesterday. It took a friend with a long arm reaching down beside the headlight. $3.99 and five minutes later it was fixed!
