Here are the items you'll need for this repair.
Your battery is located in the front passenger side of the engine bay. You’ll need a 5/16 wrench to loosen the side post terminal. Remove and isolate the ground. Use a small flat blade screwdriver and pop off the lens.
We have our battery disconnected so we can use a small flat blade screwdriver to pull the bulb out of its socket.
Install your new bulb and pop the lens back into place to replace. To replace either of the side bulbs, pop the cover out with a small flat blade screwdriver.
Again, the battery is disconnected so we can pry in the tabs and pop the bulb out. Hook the wire loops on the ends of the bulb over the tabs inside of the light. Using your screwdriver to hold that loop in place on the tab, pry that tab toward the center until you can carefully place the loop on the other side of the bulb over its tab.
Pop the lens back into place. Install the negative battery terminal and then tighten it down with your 5/16 wrench.
