1) If memory serves right, its a 168 bulb (mine is clear)
2) You don't have to remove the battery, but it would make life alot easier

yes that is your parking light which is a 168, and no you do not have to remove your battery to get to it. its easily reachable. if you need me to i can run out and take a picture of where it is.

A 168 bulb? So if i go to Auto Zone and look for this particular bulb, then # is 168? Mine's yellow/amber for an 03' SE V8.

For me NOT to take out the battery, id need the hands of a 5 yr old.

 

[Trevloc]

how big of a battery do you have? haha jk. yes the # is 168. they have them at any walmart or autozone or anything with auto lights, they are quite common. im going to run down and look at it again... maybe i just have small hands.

OK, i think i found it:

Parking light
168
168ST SilverStar: The brighter, whiter signal light. Up to 30% brighter light, up to 20% whiter light and up to 10% farther and wider.
168LL SYLVANIA Long Life miniature bulbs perform twice as long as any standard miniature bulb. Designed for durability, lower maintenance and greater safety.

Got that info from the Sylvania website.

Yeah, that upper-outer corner is blocked by the battery. Its gonna have to come out.

i must have some really tiny hands.... thanks for killing my self esteem.... :sobbing:

ahahaha.

if you want an amber colored bulb add an A to the end of the part number ie 168A

 

[zerowkul98]

Thanks to the both of you guys.

I dont think i could get my hand in there AND twist that connector in and out of the light housing.

I'll give it a shot tho.

Hopefully the crappy NAPA in town has the right bulb.

U think i should replace em both? Usually when one goes, the other's not far behind.

true story.

i would. they usually come in 2 packs anyway i believe.

I put amber LEDs in mine, they look great

THAT....was a PAIN in the REAR END!!

Had to take the battery out to get to the one on the driver's side, but that wasnt the trouble. What did give me issues was the angle the bulb-sleeve is at, and i had to contort my arm to get in there, and then turn it counter-clockwise WITHOUT BREAKING IT....that sucked.

Got them both replaced. As i thought, Napa had NOTHING. Had to march over to Auto Zone which is in the hood. Good times.

Napa usually has nothing. I avoid them. I like Advance Auto or Pep Boys.
