Might Have to Slap Ho
#16
If you next time run into this issue, I'll give you a quick rundown how to do it yourself.
1. loosen front wheel lugs on the side in which you want to change your clearance bulbs. (i'm assuming you mean the city lights but in reality doesnt matter because unless if you're talking about sidemarkers then these bulbs are all in the headlight housing).
2. Jack up the car
3. Take the wheel off
4. Remove the front half of the fender liner, about 4-5 push-pin clips
5. Undo the cap that covers the headlight bulbs (I believe in my 06 it was the bottom one for the fogs because the city light is right next to it)
6. Feel for the little tab that the city light harness connects to, push in to release it and pull the unit out
7. Take out bulb and replace with new.
8. Reverse steps
It's that easy.
And yes, always change your bulbs in pairs.
** You don't have to take off your wheel or jack up the car if you don't want to, some people have done it by leaving the car on the ground and just turning the car's wheel all the way to the right or left to gain access to the fender liner but I find it easier to take the wheel off and such.

^ That's the exact way I changed my projector bulbs and city lights. Kinda a PITA changing the city bulbs though since the hole isn't very big, and you have to feel your way around so you can't see what youre doing haha. Still easy though and definitely not worth paying someone to do it.

lol, maybe if I was visiting my family. O, and I have some turtle wax premium grade rubbing compound, thats good for taking away the G35 shadow?
-nevermind, the turtle wax did the job. Now just gotta go to the store and get the 3M.
