Cold, One of my Marker Lights also went out a couple days ago. How does one replace it? Do I take off the Lens or is there a way to replce it from within the trunk?

I went with Polarg hyperwhites for both sidemarkers/parking lights...looks much better than stock..PIAA Xtremes also match the HID's real well..
www.custommaxima.com carries the Polargs, not sure about the PIAA Xtremes..also use the "SEARCH" function..this has been gone over many times..

Hyperwhites or polargs or any other "white" bulb in your sidemarkers are illegal. Whether or not you get pulled over for it depends. You can get amber and red bulbs fairly cheap. You can also try some LEDs for a more true color.

If you got stopped for blue washer lights, then I'm pretty sure u'll get stopped for white sidemarkers.

I use the PIAA xtreme whites 194/168 wedge bulbs. I got them from www.optauto.com. Of all the online stores I searched (many), they had the lowest prices. Quick shipping too.
