Rosemont, amber light next to the high beam? I know there is an amber light next to the low beam (DIP) light. The small light in the same housing as the high beam is white on my car. For the small bulb in the high beam housing, it is held in place by friction. All you do is access the back of the light housing on the high beam side, grab the base of that bulb and give it a few twists as you are pulling out. It is in there pretty good, so, you will need to give it a lot of twisting. Just don't pull too hard without providing some counter pressure as the autoleveling portion of the headlights can be damaged if you pull too hard.

careful not to break the leveling posts coz if they break you have to change the entire unit or do some glueing which is tedious and frustrating...
