Default Daytime running lights

One of my running lights went out on my 99 T/A. How hard are they to change? Anyone got a write up somewhere?

I got mine from the bottom. There are 3 bolts, 10 mm I think, on a black plastic flap at the bottom. Unbolt, pull flap down and you can reach strait up to the light. Twist socket out and replace bulb. Took less than 5 mins.

just take out the headlight (one bolt) and go in from the top. it will take you a total of about 5 min max. I've done this like 4 or 5 times.

Don't touch the glass part of the bulb without gloves. the oil from your fingers shortens the life of the bulbs. (atleast everytime i replaced mine without gloves touching the bulb they blew out alot faster then when i would leave the bulb alone)

Does anyone know what the replacement part number is for the actual housing? I can see small cracks forming in both of my DRLs and now they leak.

Does anyone know where I can get these at a reasonable price?

Thanks!

Part number is 10301404. I got mine at the dealership for about 35 bucks or so.
