I'm guessing you're talking about that tiny light by the fog light? If so, its a wedge bulb, and its right next to the fog lights. It's a long plastic rod you need to twist, its a bit hard to get out the first time around since you don't know what to look for.

there's no cover for that bulb, unless you're talking about the orange turn signal. if it's the small one, you just need to change the wedge bulb~

ooh, for that I believe you need to open the headlight and change out the orange cover. There was a DIY if you search on how to open the headlights~ It was mainly for a projector retrofit but I've seen couple people change out the turn signals as well.

i don't think the turn signals use a wedge bulb, i was referring to the small lights right next to the fog light housing. i'll see if i can find a diy on it~

ok, well the clearance strip that runs down the side of the light that a lot of people put a CCFL into. is that what you were talking about using the wedge bulb for?

ok, for the coupe's clearance strip, is it possible to just switch out the bulb and get a much better strip?

strip? you basically have two options, high power LEDs or CCFL tube (lots-o-work).
