Need a Parking Light Swap DIY.

Anyone have one? Iv'e looked around but haven't been able to find one yet.
Ive Already switched out the headlights and all other interior lights for Blues. Now i just need to find out the size of the parking lights and how to get to them.

If you are talking about the front lights I believe they are a 194 sized bulb. My manual says a 5W bulb. And I'm pretty sure you might be able to twist and pull it off with the bumper on through the top. If not the bumper has to be taken off to do it.

I got outside to check it out.
Quite simple. Just have to raise the bonnet and twist couner Clockwise.
To put them back in you have to line the sides up right. that can be a pain. Now i just need to find the right bulbs. They didn't look like 194
