Re: corner bulbs
unless you have skinny and 10" long fingers, you have to remove the headlight assy. It's held in place by 3 screws, 2 on top and 1 below. For the one below, it's best to remove the wheel and remove 1 screw that holds the inner fender skin. Just peel it back and you will see the large adjusting nut with the screw you have to remove going thru it. Once the assy is out, twist the corner light socket out. I believe the bulb is 194 amber.

Re: corner bulbs
Order from superbrightleds.com and DO NOT take out the headlight assembly unless you really want to.
I have changed these bulbs in 10+ cars, and while it is a pain in the butt, it requires much less work than removing the headlight assemblies, just need the right tools. Use a very long pair of needle nose pliers or a hemostat type grabber and twist them right out - not difficult, but it may take you a minute to figure out the best angle to attack it, as there are a few angles you need to try....

If you decide to remove the headlight assemblies, there are 4 bolts holding it in. Remove the side marker to get to the lower outboard. Remove the grille to get to the lower inboard.

PS I didn't have to remove my assemblies to change the 194 bulbs, but I have had them out for other reasons.

Re: corner bulbs
Pair of 45 degree angled needle nose pliers and some hand maneuvering. They're twist lock sockets, so grab onto the grey part of the twist lock (has little tabs on it), and twist them counter-clockwise. (Righty tighty, lefty loosey)
Pull the bulb out, wedge a new one in there. Put bulb into headlight, twist to the right to lock it. Done.
I can do mine in about 6min. Changed them from stock to green, to UV purple, to blue, to red (current). 194 style wedge bulb. I get the 6 LED version from superbrightleds.com
Disclaimer: I have a 2005 Base Coupe, no idiot lights. The bulbs work fine, but with a limited or SRT i'm sure you'd have a bulb out indicator.
PM me if you have any questions
