Default Changing an orange light bulb

Hi guys...
One of the Orange light bulbs that is always on in the headlight assembly ceased working? What is the process of changing it?
Sorry as I am not good with these things....

I think you are talking about your DRL's. I looked for a post with info on how to change these and came up with this thread. I hope this helps?

Thanks to member rtibbit for a great post!

It is tough to get to if you have big hands. I changed mine to Silver Star bulbs, so that they look silver when the lights are off and it was tough on my hands trying to get in there to change them.

Thanks all 4 your help.
I got mad on sat afternoon - this should not be difficult.
So...i went to an auto part store-got the right bulb, the right pop out screw driver and went off....i got to the bulb fast - but it took me a while to figure out that you need to press on a small lever behind the bulb....and i was done within 30 minutes.....by the way- i had to buy new plastic screws since the ones i poped out did not fit in there again...
Thank you all for your help....
