Sorry,stupid headlight light bulb question...

Just noticed today that one of my " daytime " light went out.. Not the low beam or high beam it's the light that sits at the very top above my day time low beam.. Wondering if it's a H3? Can I find them in yellow too? Sorry for the stupid question again...Just know I can always be reassured here..

Are you referring to the tiny bulb that is on the top of the headlights housing?

Its probably a smaller bulb like a 168 size...look up headlighT charts...problem is actually replacing it because of all the crap behind the headlights in the engine bay

Dunno if its the same as on the MY02, but that is a 168. The PITA is that you need to remove the light cluster to get to the bulb according to the owner's manual.

Yeah the bulb is a 168/194. I swapped the bulbs out as soon as I got the car and put in some LEDs

It's a pain in the *** to reach the bulbs so I had to remove the headlights to get to them.

they're not hard to change, just use a mirror to see them clearly and small pliers to twist it open. i just changed mine a couple of weeks ago, took 5 mins.
