Parking Light replacement and installation? So I took my car to Firestone today, had them rotate the tires for $10, can't beat that. But during the inspection they noticed that two of my parking lights were out. I asked them not to replace it, as I wanted to inspect it myself first and see if I can do it. My question is, where can I buy these bulbs, and what's the process for installing them?
The rear left bulb, has a plastic panel that overlays it with a screw holding it in place, pretty sure I can do that one.
But the front left one, next to the blinker, has no screw on top, might prove more difficult. Any ideas?

You go in through the bottom of the bumper, where the little flapper-plastic piece is. It's not that hard. I just did mine. Get the 3457's.... they are 4 cadle watts brighter. I like bright running lights. If you want them regular, get the 3157's.
The rear... yes. Just take the phillips screw out and they pop right out. There's next to NO pigtail though, so don't pull them much.
Hope this helps.

No need to be rude about it, I was just asking for some advice. I actually got all of the bulbs installed with no problem, thanks again for being a ****.

You can go through the bottom for the ones in the front or you can take that side headlight out and get to it from the top. Just which ever is easier for you though. The rear, just like what Dr. Whigham said.
