It's actually not as difficult as it seems. Look in the fender liner area (where the wheel wheel is) and you will see the screws that hold the liner in place. Once you remove the bottom screws (or be it the screws that hold the edges of the fender liner), you can carefully pull it back a bit to expose the bulb and socket. To remove the socket turn it counter clockwise until you can pull it out. To reinstall the socket turn it clockwise until it locks in place Carefully remove the bulb from the socket and replace with same type. To remove the bulb pull it straight out. Push the new bulb straight in. The bulb is a 194 5w bulb. Note: most of the time the reason the bulbs are burning out in the bumper is due to water getting in behind the lens and not being able to drain. What I have done is use a Dremmel tool to carfully drill a very small hole along the bottom of the lens to allow the water to drain. Another option is if you have clear silicone you can suirt some around the outside of the lens. This will prevent water from getting in. However, if there is already water in the lens you will have to drain the water first. To drain the water use a ratchet wrench and unscrew the nut that holds the lens to the bumper. In severe cases of corroded sockets you might have to replace the socket where the bulb goes into.
