How do you change a DRL bulb?

[larmyca]

Is it done from the back by removing the washer fluid filler? From the front removing the lens? My dealer wants 60.00 to do it?

From the engine bay.
No you shouldnt have to remove washer bottle.

man - it looks like i do

[total0wnage]

it looks to me like u have projectors so in that case yes u have to remove the socket bolt thats holds the funnel parts on, youll barely have remove and i took me over 30mins to install this bulb since i was only able to turn it with 2 of my weakest fingers. the bulbs are set in very tight and will take alot of patience.

Went to change the inner day time driving light bulb on the passenger side and I removed the washer fluid filler funnel top piece and found I can get to the twist on socket for the HID and the inner signal bulb but there is no socket for the DRL just a small hole where wiring goes through the plastic housing. also the tiny orange lights on the outer corner of both my driving light assemblys are also burnt out. It seems that I need to pull the entire front end off the car as the top screws are accessable but the bottom screws are at the front and down behind the edge of the bumper cover.

Anybody change these bulbs? if so how and how long?

OK here is the deal I was able to change my Day Time Driving light bulbs.
Here is the Funny part 1165 Bulbs left over from the tail lights on my 82 Z28 I owned 17 years ago fit perfectly and work they put out the same colour and light as the Mitsubishi OEM bulbs and 17 years later I have found a use for them LOL ! The Mitsu bulb is smaller but the socket size and connector are exactly the same. Also changed the little orange little marker bulbs tucked into the outside corner of each light assembly.

^LOL. Good to keep certain things around, i guess, you never know when you might need 'em for something else.

I need to replace the passenger side little orange bulb at the corner too so it sounds like I wouldnt have to remove anything to replace it right? and it's a 194 size bulb also?

I just did both of those tiny corner lights and for the passenger side if you simply unclip the radiator overflow plastic container it slides up, you can then put your arm through the fender to reach the connector. Give it a 1/4 turn counter clockwise then pull the socket straight back to get it so you can get the bulb where you can swap it for a new one and repeat the process. help if you have a good flashlight so you can see in that dark corner.
