If Lori Can Do It, So Can You!
Step by Step Explanation on How to Change Out the Daytime Running Lamp to a 2008 Acura MDX.
*Make sure the autoparts place gives you the correct bulb.
The first time I went, they gave me the fog light bulb. The fog lights have a gray silver tip on the top of the bulb to make it not bright. Also the prongs inside the bulb that connects to the plug are close together. Whereas the DRL bulb is completely clear and the prongs are wider.
You Will Need:
1. The Daytime Running Light Bulb for your specific vehicle.
I bought mine from Auto Zone
2. Two Flathead Screw Drivers
Size 1/4 and 3/16
3. Yoga Mat
Steps:
1. Set up your workstation
Tip: Use a thick yoga mat
2. Remove the 3 Plastic Bolts from underneath the bumper.
Use smaller flathead screwdriver to pull the switch down and bigger flathead screwdriver to aid in removal of bolt
3. Remove Side screw using smaller flathead screwdriver
4. Open side to access lightbulbs.
5. Remove Daytime Running Light Connector
Tip: the Daytime Running light bulb will be the furthest from you
Tip: To remove, turn attachment LEFT or UPWARDS
6. Remove old light bulb
7. Replace with the new light bulb
The light bulb will only fit one way.
8. Return the DRL light to where you removed it from by turning the connector to the RIGHT OR DOWNWARDS to lock it in place
9. Check to make sure the bulb is working by turning the car on and to see if the DRL Alert is still on.
If there is no longer an alert and the light is on, YOU DID IT! Great Job!
10. Put everything back together.
I hope this inspires and empowers you to tackle your own projects!
*** Autozone also offered to put in my DRL lamp in for free after I purchased it. So, if you do not have time, see if they maybe able to do it for you! 🥰
