2010+ G37 sedan headlight 194 bulb (top corner bulb)

How would one change the 194 bulb in the 2010+ G37 sedan? Under the hood or through the wheel liner? Any tips and tricks for a quick and easy install? Thanks for the help?

I have yet to work with the parking lights, but I had to go through the liner for the headlight bulb.

I did mine a couple weeks ago through the wheel well on both sides. I'd suggest replacing it with LED, whether it's white or amber.

There is absolutely no room to reach the headlight through the hood. You'll have to peel back the fender liner and go through the wheel well.

What bulb did you go with? White LED?

Mostly, only real way to go through the hood would be removing the intake boxes. So doable, but not worth it.

Yeah, I did white LED and like the look of it.

I just tried and could not really get the liner to move easily. Also, broke a few plastic rivets. Any specific way to move the liner to access the bulbs?

If I remember correctly directly above the wheel there are 1 or 2 clips, remove those to seperate the two pieces of inner fender liner, then there's one at around the 3 o'clock position when looking at the tire, towards the back of the liner then one or two along the front edge of the fender liner, with all those removed it can be pulled out of the way. It'd be good to pick up some extra clips as the older ones like to break.

I did manage to break 2 clips by just removing them. Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try.

If there's still enough clips holding it in place and you can wait for them to ship, they are stupid cheap off ebay. Like 100 of them for under $5. Search up part 01553-09321 and you'll find a ton of results.
