Lift the hood. On the back side there is a tab that you must push away from the headlight, and push it out towards you. Once you get the corner housing out, there are 2 tabs on the socket that you need to squeeze for it to come out. Twist the bulb lightly until it comes lose and remove it. When installing it, look at the pegs on the new bulb, and look inside socket, and see which way the peg accepts which. When putting everything back together, make sure the corner light housing is on track with the headlights, and the pole sits right inside the peg.

On the rear, lift the trunk, and look behind tail lights inside the trunk. There should be a knob. Twist it open. Once it's lose just pull it out. Twist the bulb lightly it it comes lose, then remove it. Replace the bulb and make sure you twist it back into position. Reinstallation is reverse of installation.

FYI you don't need to take the corner light out on the front to replace the bulb. I strongly recommend against it, I have seen many people break tabs. Just reach in there and squeeze the two clips, comes out in 5 seconds, just did it this morning. Then rotate the bulbs and it pops out.

As for what bulb, don't have it in front of me, just go to the parts store and look it up in the book there. The front is like 72xx something. Its about $5 for two of them.

you must have really small hands, on the passenger side I'm barely able to squeeze my hand past the washer fluid reservoir, the last time I did it like that I didn't get the socket seated right and I ended up with water in my turn signal, I don't have any problems on the drivers side but that's only because I have a CAI instead of the airbox
