It is not very difficult.

For the driver side you need to unscrew fuse box and move it away as far as you can. For passenger side you need to unscrew that intake filter assembly, move top part away and remove the bottom part and you will have a lot of space on the passenger side. You need to pull those small bulbs gently so you don't break them.

I put these LED bulbs as "parking lights" next to he high beam bulb:

I also put LED bulbs into backup reverse lights. Replacing those is very easy.

Both LED bulbs, front and back are white and very bright.

Oh, and I replaced fog lights with these:

Once you unscrew the fuse box and move it away as far as you can, is the light bulb plainly visible or is it behind a cap or cover? Thank you for the excellent info. It's greatly appreciated.

I think it is behind that round cap. I will double check and reply again.

One last question. Do I need to disconnect the battery or take any other precautionary measures before I unscrew the fuse box or do I just literally unscrew it without having to do anything extra? I ask only because you have obviously gone through it, so please forgive my ignorance. Thanks!

I didn't disconnect the battery. Car was off so it was not a problem to change bulbs.

You don't have to open fuse box. You just unscrew those three bolts and move box away (you cannot remove it because it has wires coming into the box) so you can you can slide your hand to unscrew the round cap.

I will try to make some pics at lunch.

I guess I was mistaken as to which side/bulb was out. I need to remove the intake filter assy as that's what's in the way of the affected, passenger side bulb. I suppose it's the same basic procedure but with my luck, much more difficult. I suppose I'll replace both and apply all of the info you've given me to the driver's side. Thanks again!

You unclip top part of the intake filter assy and move it aside (you cannot remove it because wires come into it). But you can remove the big bottom part, carefully.

I attached some pictures.
