You can't put different color bulbs because the amber color you see is a housing, not a bulb. It's like the tail lights... you can't change the color.

If for any reason you do need to replace the bulb, the entire housing slides off. You push it towards the back of the car.

FreakingWilly - i think he might mean the side marker lights next to low beams, those can be replaced. I replaced mine with a super white LED. But if he meant the "other" side markers, on the side of car lol, then i don't believe they can be replaced.

Side marker lights are exactly that... marker lights on the side :57: What you are originally referring to are the city lights and you are right, they can be changed... very easily too.

If you look really close, you can see that the amber color in the side marker is really a cone shaped housing for the bulb. It's basically Mitsu's way of keep you street legal. If you were really bent on changing the color, you could pry the housing open and remove the cover... but that's more work than it's worth.
