Step 1: Steering and Accessing the Bulb

Initiating our adventure on the front left side, it’s time to swivel that steering wheel to the right! With this maneuver, we aim to reach the bulb nestled behind the fender liner. Equipping ourselves with a panel removal tool, a clip removal tool, and a flathead screwdriver, we’re ready to tackle the challenge! A symphony of unscrewing later, four clips are ousted, and the fender liner yields, revealing the bulb’s hideaway.

Upon prying open the fender liner, the bulb makes its shy appearance. Given the constraints of its snug location, showcasing the replacement process poses a challenge. Thus, to grant you a clearer vision, we’ll bravely disassemble the bumper and shed light on every intricate detail.

Now, to the crux of the matter! The bulb, positioned just so, can be squished and gently extracted from its socket. To bestow upon your Dodge Journey a new gleaming light, simply align the replacement bulb in its unique stance and firmly secure it. A triumphant push signals the successful completion of this enlightening endeavor!
