Default How to replace DRL bulbs

I just bought LEDs to replace the stock DRL bulbs. I can't seem to get to the driver side bulb due to cramp space. Anybody done this and has a suggestion?



That hydrolic thinggie is in the way and I can't get my hands all the way in the housing.

On the passenger side one, I have to remove the airbox to access it. I havent really tried that side yet so I dont know how hard it is.

Man... our engine bay is so cramped.

I bought the same bulb in this thread.

Here is the pic on my car.



And as advertised no bulb out error. It looks nice... but changing the bulbs are a real pain. I hope this leds last a long time.
