Default Front turn signal light works / Running Light does not

So I noticed this morning that front running light (under headlight is out) but when I turn on turn signal it works.
Are these different lights?
Is it much effort to replace the bulb?
Had been thinking about Riso Clear Corners. Is replacing this bulb enough of an effort to do the clear corners at same time?
Thanks

Default They are different bulbs. The parking lights burn out all the freaking time.

I finally just let them both burn out and I'm leaving them that way. The clear-corner mod is a bit more involved then just swapping the bulb since you'll need to pull off the front bumper to remove the housings and then disassemble them. It's a fair amount of work. Much easier to just let the other bulb burn out

Default Thanks for the instructions!

For some reason, I always believed that the front of the car had to be removed even for this task.

I just had the left one replaced; now the right one is burnt! No need to wait for the next oil change; I will replace it this weekend!

Thanks again!

Default No. bulb is too small to get any LED coverage, but look for my LED turn/parking strips very soon.

Default Has anyone fitted neon tubes for the blinkers?

I detail a BMW Z8 occasionally and I know the blinkers are neon, it has a really nice look. I think if you put your ear close you can hear the neon illuminating too. I know the owner swaped out the tails for the euro version, not sure if the neon was included with the new ones. Might be a source for parts. Would it be possible on the TT?

Default I'd like to see what it looks like...

the concept car had neon turn signals, it'd be neat to refit them.
