Is there a DIY for City Light bulb change?
Just did a search and did not see any instructions? Any chance someone can forward the DIY for this bulb swap or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Jayme D

it is really easy. just as he mentions. its the bottom bulb, twist counter clockwise 1/4 turn and easy it up , it will come almost to the top of the hood line. put in new bulb and slowly place back it is a little tough to get it started but once in look down thru the light and then turn clockwise to put back in place. less than 10min, it is easier if your engine is cool. I learned that the hard way. thought since it was up front it would be an issues but still all the lines are hot.

have fun.
