I have a front drivers' side running light that is out. I wouldn't mind replacing it myself, but I don't know how. Do you all think it would be easier to just take it to the dealer? I'd hate to bring it in if it'll only take 5 minutes...

If this is the same running light used in the Canadians models then it is simple .. all you need is a 12 mm socket and an extension onto your rachet...if you look at the light assembly from the side you will see a 12 mm bolt holding it in place....

undo that bolt and the light assembly should come out and you twist off the bulb holder and voila...i believe it is either a 1156 or a 1157 bulb.....or you can just take the bulb and compare it at your local parts store...
 
Thanks Enterprise,
That sounds simple enough. Is the bolt on the outside (visible from outside the car), or should I look underneath to find it?

here is a pic of the Canadain driving light where the 12 mm bolt is circled in green.. sorry about not getting a better pic...(don't have a digi cam right now so I had to use an archived pic)

Oh, We're talking about something else...We don't have daytime running lights down here, these are the lights that go on when you put the headlights up...

You can do it yourself. There are previous posts (look for "parking light") and/or look in the service manual (there's an electronic copy on this site). You'll need a very long screwdriver.
