    So my driver's side DRL (daytime running lamp) is burned out.

    I will be picking up a replacement bulb on my lunchhour.
    Does anyone have any suggesstions or useful links for replacing the bulb -- or is the Manual spot on for instructions on how to replace the bulb?

    The Bentley has a good illustration. For the non-xenon halogen bulb replacement, pull off the rubber dust boot, remove connector, unfasten the wire clip, replace bulb. The wire clip is the hard part unless you have Limbo dance skills, or can rotate your head like Linda Blair. A mirror and flashlight can help you assess how to manipulate the wire clip.

    Thanks! Is the Bentley Manual on-line? I don't have access to a hardcopy...

    I'm 90% sure that bulb changes are included in the owners manual and they're pretty spot-on
