Default How do I change the front DRL light bulbs?

After going through a automatic car wash earlier in the week my front parking lights dont light up anymore. So now I need to get new bulbs and I was wondering how do I get to them? The drvers manual seems pretty vague to me. :confused:

If you have small wrists you can reach the foglights, and both corner lights thru the brake duct opening. Just push it down, and stick your hand in over top of it. The bulb and connector is just like any other car, twist and pull. You can pull the connector close enough to (or out of) the brake duct opening to see what's going on.

The bezel is the plastic piece that surrounds the headlight. Just three screws and it comes right off. When putting it back on be sure and seat the plastic tab at the top into the receiving clip on the headlight itself. :chevy
