DIY for parking lights installation?

I just bought 194/168 yellow bulbs a few days ago and tried to install them through the engine bay and it was a PITA.

Is there a diy for installing parking lights? Is bumper removal required?

Get back at me asap. I'm trying to to install these at the moment. Thanks!

Its right in the owners manual.
Pull the splash guard back and stick your hand in. They're right up there.

Re: DIY for parking lights installation?

lol... i never even thought about that, the first time i did it i just pulled the Power steering resovoir up and just squeezed my hands in there.

Then the next time i did it, i found it easier to just take the damn bumper off and remove the headlight. But i guess that splash guard is the smarter fastest way to do it.
