So I've searched for a bulb guide and haven't found anything specific to sedans that will answer my question. One of the bulbs mounted inside my low beam reflector is out. I'm assuming this is a DRL bulb? It's not the actual HID bulb, but a bulb that is mounted on the side of the reflector and is lit when the light stalk is moved one click. I'm going in for an oil change tomorrow and would like to stop by Kragen and pick up a bulb so they can change it at the same time. Feel free to correct me if this is in the FAQ or something of the sort.

 

It's a 194/168 bulb. It's also known as the city light. You can pick one up for cheap at any automotive store. Real easy to change

 

Replacing this bulb is the same as all others right? Remove wheel, pull back fender lining, replace bulb.

 

Here are some pics to help access/replace the clearance bulb (also known as the city light in the pics):





When you find the bulb socket for the city light, grab and twist CW or CCW (I can't remember but try both) until the socket feels loose, then pull out with the bulb. Pretty simple.

 

Yup. same thing. Just got to know what your looking for when reaching your hand back there. The pics above will give you a good idea what to look for.

 

Anyone know of any good LED replacements over the halogen? I read a few threads about the coupes and certain LED solutions will not fit into the socket even though they match the 194/168 base. Is this true of the sedans?

 

nah they fit. just make sure it's 194/168 and you'll be fine. Check out http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/fp/SFV/32481. They got tons of choices

Use that as a reference guide next time.

 

Thats actually the first thing I did but DRL or City Light is not listed as one of the bulb options.

 

It's listed under Parking light
168
168LL Long Life Upgrade: Up to twice the life of the standard lamp

 

hile you're out bulb shopping you might as well purchase one that compliments your HID instead of the yellow stock look unless you like it like that. PIAA offers one and i am sure other manufacturers offers this type also. You might want to try to get one in super white or similar

 

The city light bulb on the passenger side which is not out is actually a whitish hue.

 

What size bulb is the fog light/high beam bulb?

 

9003

Wht do most guys do with this bulb? Has anyone changed it to a yellow 3000K bulb or maybe a bulb that is more "pure" white that what is in there now?
