Parking Light in Amber

My solution to the ugly parking light.
Replacment bulb #2825 = Sylvania 194NA (Amber -this a bulb not a LED)

I use my fogs sometimes, so I went with bulbs instead of LEDs. Don't feel like changing that out every once in awhile.

Now all I need is the PIAA Yellow Fogs

NEW PICS ADDED

When your headlights are on, there's a second inner ring you twist on the stick to turn the fog lights on.

I see, but for people that don't live in Canada, what would you use them for?

It took about an hour and half because its my fist time, next time it will take an hour.

I heard some people on forum talk about going through the top.
I would recommend not to.

The proper way would be through the wheel well since you can access all the lights best this way. I got a 30 dollar jack from Advanced Auto Parts cause I don't like taking the one out of the trunk to use because of the hassle and its not as good as a pump floor jack.

Just take one tire of at a time and remove the plastic pop rivets by using a thin head screw driver and peel back the top of the wheel well to access.

There is info here in this forum with pics on where lights are that should help out.

Thanks for opinions!

I know we all have our flavors, so I wanted to add this to the forum just in case any one wanted to go this route. I will tell you it looks much much better in person. It looks totally factory which I like
