Driving Lights

Hello guys, I know this question probably has been asked many times, but, does anyone have a quick and easy way to replace the driving light bulbs? Does one need to find a hydraulic lift to use? The instructions in the owners manual are clear, but getting the housing out takes some thought.


Thanks ahead of time!

Were you serious about the hydrolic lift? It takes about 7 min. with just a phillips screwdriver. There's a screw that you need to access from the inside of the grill. Do a search.

You have to remove the plastic piece on the top of the front bumper just in front of the radiator..... I think

Actually I'm right, because I have mesh on my bumper, so I have to get at the lights from the top.

Did it last week. Took about 10 minutes. Here are the instructions I used. Easy to do.

it takes less than 5 minutes.

you just have to go under the front bumper and remove the plastic guard. then pull out the old bulbs, and insert the new ones (without touching the new bulbs with fingers)...very easy...
