turn the wheel all the way in...pull the tabs that hold in the shroud in the wheel well...peel back the shroud and you have access to all the bulbs...turn and pull the housing for the clearance light and just replace the bulb...

Just pay attention to the angle that you pull the bulb out, a couple people have had trouble putting the bulb back in because visibility is limited. Just remember that the bulb housing is keyed and will only go in a certain way at a certain angle.

little trick...shine a strong light into the housing so when you are in the wheel well you can see where light is coming through

168 bulb. Be VERY careful when you take the bulb out and put the new one back into the housing. It is very easy for the bulb to disconnect and fall into the housing. I actually ended up losing one stock bulb in the housing and have no idea where it is. I can;t see it from the front so I think I'm ok. I recommend taking the wheel off and taking off the whole liner just so you have more room and a perfect view of the connections. You can also replace your fogs while you're at it.

hey guys

anyone find that diy that was posted a LONG time ago on how to change these lights? I was really good with pictures and detailed instructions. I used it to change my bulbsj liek 2 years ago.

recently, all my 168 bulbs have burned out. hahahaha both clearance and the side markers ? wtf!

Im sure there are newer, more improved bulbs these days. I used the piaa white/white 168s before. any current recommendations and suggestions on where to buy?
