Changing the parking/city light

Hi I was wondering if there were any write ups or videos on how to easily change the parking/city light that comes on when the low beams are turned on. I'd like to change that bulb to an led on my 13 coupe. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

you can probably get away with turning the wheel... pop out the fender liner and reach in for the city light connection.. twist it out and change the bulb..

Thanks, I did look at the wheel well lining and only saw 1 push clip and popped it out but the lining was coming out. Is there more than 1 clip to it or was I being too gentle with it lol

You were probably being too gentle. The DIY video I watched for changing the HID bulbs said to pop out 3 clips, but I only needed to pop out the one dead center above the wheel that holds the two separate pieces of lining together, and then just pull hard on the lining and push it down to expose the area where the lights go in. I assume it should be roughly the same process for the city lights.

Update

I found it easier to take the air boxes out just loosening the clamp and unbolting it and twisting the top of the fluid reservoir off to get to the bulb.
Thank you all
