Have any sedan owners changed out the clearance lamp?

I thought both clearance bulbs were burned out or just never cam on when I saw them, but I removed one of the front side marker assemblys and one of the clearance lights came back on. Now I have to fix the other one so it doesn't look funny. Either both on or both off is OK, but not one of each.

I searched around on Driver and haven't found anyone that has actually replaced the bulbs. The manual instructs you to go to the dealer. I can change the fog and HID bulbs, so I'm thinking the clearance bulb shouldn't be difficult. I just wanted to hear from someone that has changed it.

That's it. I haven't tried to swap it out yet. I just wanted to see if anyone had any experience and could give some tips.

The Infiniti manual calls it a clearance light. I know it is different than the side clearance light on the coupe.

Where can I pick up the PIAA super LED? That sounds like what I need.

I thing Infiniti must have gotten rid of the clearance bulb on the 05.
You can see it in this picture at about 10 o'clock on the lower reflector.

I have changed mine, a long time ago, i have an 03 and it was fairly easy. Easier than switching the fog light under the regular beam. I got the poia extreme whites wedges. I just went to a local autozone and got them. There's a DIY on it.
