I want to change the bulbs in my parking lights, but can't get my (apparently too fat) hand into the cavity under the hood to get the bulb socket. I can't imagine that I'd have to remove the bumper and headlight just to change the bulb.

Is there a trick to this?

The hole is very small. You can try removing the inner wheel liner (this should work), or just grab a friend with a small hand and have him change it for you. If you lived closer I'd do it for you, or you can drive up to Mass and I'll do it.

Well, if you say it can be done, I'll risk losing a finger or two first and try to change it myself! Somehow when I first tried it, I just figured there had to be a trick to it!

Nope sorry.. no trick that I know of. I will suggest getting a mechanic's mirror and a really small light so you can see where you need to reach. You will most likely have to pull back the inner wheel well lining to do it.
Just turn the wheel so that the front of the wheel is turned in facing the engine bay. After that remove the cilps in the front of the cover and change the bulb.

Hope this helps!
