Side Light Replacement

[saraf]

Any suggestions on how to replace burnt out orange front side light.

Do not really want to take it to the dealer for something this minor.

Hi..........

Very easy to do yourself. The light housing just ops out by pulling on the edge closest to the wheel opening. When it is free, there is one plug that either twists, or has a small clip (push) and it releases. There is your bulb. Pop in a new one and reverse and you are done. About a 5 minute job tops. Bulbs are listed in your owner's manual and available at any parts store.

Good luck!

PS...I attached a diagram image to help you.
