There are plenty of "white" W5W bulbs out there -- I used a pair of PIAA Super White W5W's when I had halogens.

The bulb is an H6W Halogen I believe, double check your owners manual.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The left front city light (parking light) bulb is out.
#1 how do I replace it?
#2 is there another option I can go with to get rid of the yellowish light they produce and get a white light? If so, is there a place on-line that I can buy them?
#3 What bulb type is it?
TIA!
Nick,
Check your owner's manual. It tells you how to pop out the headlight assembly and replace the bulbs. If you don't have a manual then go to the dealer
and buy a manual!
Depending on the type of headlights you have (halogen or Litronic), the city lights will either be a W5W (wedge) or an H6W bulb.
There are plenty of "white" W5W bulbs out there -- I used a pair of PIAA Super White W5W's when I had halogens. After I upgraded to Litronics my options were limited. If you want a nice match to the Litronics then get the
H�en
xenonmatch H6W. They've been out of stock for a while though, probably because they burn out after 4 months! If you don't mind a little yellow I recommend the Philips H6W BlueVision. They're "whiter" than the stock bulbs and last just as long or longer.

You wont find these at PepBoys or AutoZone and it may be easier to just go to the dealer.
Get 2 and replace both since the other one may go out soon

Thanks for the info. I ordred the BlueVision bulbs and will look in the manual and for this tool. The only tools I have are in the boot, so I assume it's in there with the tire changing equipment?
Yes, I should know this but I don't. Never even looked in that bag as I've never had to put my spare on.

Haha - I deserved that.
To be perfectly honest, I keep forgetting to check into what bulbs they are and thought I would simply ask here and then order them on-line. The car is at home in the garage along with the manual.... so I can't RTFM right now!
