[appleman10]

im assuming this is just a bulb, where can I buy a new one, aprox how much, and is it an easy install?

you can purchase one about anywhere, probably even walmart. i cant think of the bulb type off of the top of my head but it is easy.

...just incase...
go to the trunk, the grey carpeting in the trunk has to be moved. just oush town where it meets the black plastic trim of the trunk and slide somethign in to gently pry it out from behind there. the socket just turns out then, slide the old bulb out and the new in and viola. incase it doestn work after that let me know and ill get the sire colors for you and try to help you diagnose where the problem is.

A simple bulb swap. However, getting that glass lens to pop out was a PAIN on my driver-side parking light.

There's a single screw (open the hood) holding the light in place. The screw is somewhat hidden under some plastic trim but you'll find it.

Once the screw is out, the lens assembly should slide out. My driver-side lens didn't want to cooperate but after much wiggling it came out.

I got the bulbs at Autozone. The bulb # is in your owner's manual. I don't remember the exact bulb #. In any case, the guys at Autozone can look it up for you on their computer.

Bulb is a #194.After removing the screw.pull straight forward to remove lens.There is a ballstud that mates with a socket at the bottom.A plastic screwdriver works well to free the ballstud by prying the lens forward.

Im installing it now, Im having trouble getting this ballstud loose, and am scared to apply too much pressure on my prescious j30.

[appleman10]

[dgelfuso]
