Small parking light replacement?

[Eric Hardy]

I noticed this morning the small parking light bulb burned out. I'm pretty sure it's a parking light bulb. Does anyone know how to change that bulb because it doesn't look easy.

I was going to say remove air filter housing but not that easy. When I work with my LED DRL's I will see if I find a better way to access.

It was $23 installed at the dealer.

Hello Eric,
In an earlier thread most members said remove the inner splash shield in that corner... I think???
Oh... And have really tiny hands!!!!
The bulbs Ford use nowdays must be substandard....
I gotta do this too...

I think it's a little harder then that but I'm not sure lol. I was thinking about ordering the drive bright led's and removing the bumper. It's always good to learn.

That's not bad I thought it would of been more then that. I'm taking it there on the 8th but I'm under warranty yet so it should cost me a penny. Thanks

I saw that I was reading it but I don't have tiny hands haha. You need a chick for that job. They make everything difficult plus I don't even see how to get to it. It's that 194 bulb I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

I removed the Inner fender splash shield and couldn't see a easy way for bulb replacement.

Eric: The LED DRL kit DOES NOT require the bumper removal, lower forward splash shield, Drivers wheel, inner splash shield at very minimum drivers tire. Passengers side, the Intercooler charge tube should about do it. If you decide to get the Daytime Bright kit let me know I have some photos and some "Lessons Learned" and install tips that are as they say....."Clear as Mud" Dan Smith was helpful and courteous with my calls. Some of the tips I give credit to Greg Baxter the path finder of this project.
