    There may be differences between the US spec model which is the one most talked about here and the Puerto Rican version. The LED DRLs you speak of are meant for daytime illumination and thus the reason why they turn off at night (they don't double as parking lights like they do on other vehicles).

    The small amber parking light is easy to replace (it's actually a white bulb and the same one used in the map lights and licence plate lights).

    You simply open the hood, locate the back of the bulb, twist the knob and slowly pull the whole unit out, then pull the bulb out of the socket. The reverse lights and indicators are done the same if you want to experiment on those and see how they work since it's easier to access the reverse lights and indicators
