Front parking light replacement

I can't remember where I saw this on Priuschat but it helped me find the bulb. Its a W5W and if you want you can go to, Super Bright Automotive W5W 2825 2827 168 194 LED Light Bulbs to find your bulb in a led. My bulb is coming today along with some other items I ordered. Hope this helps

will these fit?

 

On the v, used the following V-Leds on the front side marker/parking/position lamps. Very nice output and far greater conspicuity.

Left side bulb holds short of a PITA. Accessing the right side bulb is every bit the b*tch described by the Toyota tech, but can be done by the shade tree mechanic. Requires removing the radiator overflow hose from the nipple on the expansion tank (clamp) and removing the retaining bolt on the air intake nozzle (10mm), moving both aside for access, and having "seeing eye hands", not so much to locate and remove, but to orient and reinstall the lamp.

 

I fought the passenger side marker light (behind the AMBER lens) replacement for 2 hours and had no luck after both; disconnecting the air intake breather and also removing the coolant reservoir. I just can not get my hand in far enough to grab onto the end of the bulb socket.

I will probably drop the front bumper panel to remove the damn headlight for access.

I have some nice T-10 base LEDs for all of the sockets but this one is a bitch.

 

Is there a diagram for removing the front bumper that shows where all the clips and bolts are that need to be removed? I tried to install new LED headlight bulbs and my hands are just too big to get the new larger LED bulb housings in. I tried for hours with no luck. I was barely able to install the old halogen bulbs. I figure it would take less time to remove the bumper and headlights and replace the bulbs that way. What a PITA changing those headlight bulbs is.
