    I have already bought the bulb and have seen the videos on how to replace without removing bumper, but am very busy and not a car/handy guy. I will make it easy and will drive to you.

    Has anyone done this? Can anyone help? I work in Irvine and live in Manhattan Beach...drive around OC/LA all the time.

    Thanks everyone!

    Driver side...just like on the priuschat youtube videoclips. Have you done this without taking the bumper off?

    Driver side is really easy to do... You don't need to take off your bumper to do so.. just stick your hand in and try to grab the bulb with your finger and turn left or right and it should click off... DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS PART OF THE BULB!! The oil from your fingers can damage the blub... If you want my little bro ownes a sushi place in venice beach and I think thats near you... He can do it for you probably charge you like 20 bux.. He does all my car stuff...
