    So the other day i hit a snow bank in a parking-lot, which messed up my bumper. The first thing I noticed was that the amber light on the drivers side headlight was out. How easy is this to replace, can I D.I.Y.?



    My fog-lights are both out too, they were cracked before and I think snow got in them. I plan to buy some win-jets and install those, getting the yellow ones to get the JDM look

    I have an '05 and replaced mine about a month ago pretty easily. The owners manual has a page on how to replace bulbs. The drivers side is easier than the passanger side because of space issues. I would recommend getting the bulb at your local parts store and DIY.

    The parking light? That's super easy to replace. It's a W5W bulb (or 194/168 in the US). It's the same bulb as your maplight, personal light, licence plate and door courtesy light (if you want to see how they look like).
