Default How to replace amber side light next to DRL?

The passenger amber bulb has burned out next to the Daylight running lights.

What kind of bulb does it use and can I install it myself?

Thanks

Steve

#194 and yes you can. Raise headlights, remove black close-out panel around headlight (three screws), reach down inside fender and turn the socket 1/4 turn counterclockwise. You will be working with one hand but it's not as bad as it sounds.
HTH,
Robert

also if you remove the hood adjuster next to the headlamp assembly.. it will give you alittle extra room..Note the position of the jam nut..
