if i am not mistaken this is the 194 wedge bulb.
If it is try exchanging them with some good LED's
PM Dranom tell him i sent you, hell hook you up with really great LED's
from japan
they will look great with your lumnics

LEDs will burn out faster in that position...try to find hyper white bulbes or just go to autozone for regular 194 yellow halogen ones. they're like $2

You can access the headlight through the plastic fender cover....just turn the wheel to the inside to give yourself more room. You won't have to remove the headlight if you go about it this way. 15 min and you should be done.

where did you get yours? my V-led's would go out after maybe 8 months.....after 2 sets I just gave up and left it unlit.......

I might get LED's a try again if they can last.

For anyone who's wondering or is having trouble accessing the wedge bulbs, the two pics below should help you:

I have the city light bulb on my 06 sedan and replaced the stock bulb with a PIAA wedge bulb (white) rather than a led bulb cuz it gets hot in there.

BTW be careful of those luminics jdm yellow bulbs. I had a pair of them in my lower grills in Optx housings and these bulbs, h3 bulbs, are rubbish. They have been installed for just over two months and one has died and the other has gone from yellow to dark gold!

I thought the city lights were only for pre 05 models only..
