Hopefully you got stock angel eyes and not lux like mine that blew out after 3k miles and 6 years. Worst 200$ purchase

Dude I can't get the access open, can you be more specific? I tried looking it up online but nothing. Thx 😅

You open the hood and pry the headlight cover off with a flat head screw driver on top of the headlight.

Okay I got it open, but I had no idea what bulb was drl. I only saw one big one that went in the non protector light housing.
