kenempireex,
Sorry for not responding in a while. I'll try to walk you through as much as possible (but I'm going on pure memory and it's difficult to describe without pictures). First I would recommend jacking up the car on flat surface or turning the wheel entirely to one side (remember emergency brake and choking the tires if you decide to jack). I didn't have the appropriate jack stands so I used the emergency scissor jack that is in your trunk. The jack point of interest is located about 6 in. to 1 ft. (I haven't measured exactly) behind the front wheels (look in your manual). Lift the car until it gives you enough clearance to reach in and around the lining in front of the wheel (wheel does not have to leave the ground). There will be five clips and two screws that will need to be removed to allow you to pull down the plastic lining in front of the wheel (no need to remove clips on front bumper). I will describe the location of things with repect to the wheel by using the terms front, back, above, below, outer, inner. Take the left wheel well for example, there are three clips that are in front and slightly to the outer side of the wheel, only the upper two clips need to be removed. There are two more clips that are located on the inner side of the wheel (innermost edge of the lining). The last clip is located almost directly above the wheel. Finally there are two screws that you need to remove located at the outermost edge of the wheel well. Run your hand along the fender with your fingers inside the wheel well and you'll feel the screws. At this point, the front and back plastic lining are overlapping. Pull down the front lining and it should be more than enough room to switch out your clearance lights. I probably overcomplicated the explanation, I just was trying to be as descriptive as possible. Good luck.

hey, babaooey, thank you so much... I got all the way to the pull down the front lining. I saw the blub, but the gap is narrow. It's difficult for me to reach my hand inside. Oh well, i haven't get my LED blub yet. What other blub do you guys recommend beside the PIAA xtreme white/white. I am actually looking for crystal yellow blub. (Like the IS300's fog light blub).
