Is the parking lamp LED on this vehicle? Can I replace the bulb or the entire light housing?

Replace the light. Go to the auto store and purchase one. You should be changing the angel eye bulb. It's a pita but shouldn't take you longer than 10 mins. Replace both because the other one is right behind it

You can find an LED substitute for the bulb. You'll like it because it will be brighter.

Pull the bulb out first so you know what you're looking for. If you want the LED version go on eBay and search for it. They can be $10 or $40. It all depends on what you're willing to spend and what you want to do. It's just a small bulb you pull out the casing and put back in

Awesome. Thank you. I was concerned I might have to replace the entire headlight.

Posted the casing your looking for in the headlight assembly and the bulb from advance auto. It's pretty cheap if you just want to replace with halogen bulbs. $7 at advance for the pair

Getting the headlight assembly out was a PITA of a learning curve. Once you get past that, you'll be fine. Scratched my bumper up a bit figuring it out though.
