Default How to replace Parking Light Bulb?

This seems like is should be so easy, but I am stumped. And I feel like a moron. The passenger front amber parking light is burnt out in my my04 and I cannot figure out how to remove and replace it. I have searched the forum and the FAQ and cant find any answers.

Any help as to how to remove it and what kind of bulb it is would be helpful. (I dont have an owners manual).

Just for clarification, it's the small light that sits on top of the HID and larger turn signal light.

Thanks in advance!

It's a pain in the a*s because you have to take the fender liner off in order to get to it. I have changed it, you just need patience and a couple of basic tools to take the fender liner off and you should be good.

If I can do it, anyone can do it

Ehh, don't really have to take it 'off'. I bent mine down with the wheel turned the opposite way and reached up in there without a problem and was able to change mine. In my opinion not worth tearing the liner out just for that.

You are right, in most cases you can just bend it and remove the screws enough to put your hand in there.
For me, I have to take out almost 3/4ths of it since my freaking giant hand does not want to go in there till there is a lot of ROOM! lol

If you can manage to just bent the liner enough to put your hand in there and feel it and change it, that is pretty simple.

Not to mention when I tried just bending, I changed the wrong bulb and had to take the most of liner off to finally fix the right one

LOL! That's hilarious. Just try it without removing the liner, if that is a fail-remove it!

Got it. Remove the fender liner. That's seems much more sensible than dislocating my wrist so I can reach in through the engine compartment.

Thanks!
