Default Parking Lights...

so the left parking light on my headlight went dead and i was wondering if anyone had a DIY for doing it. generally looking it looks like i might have to take the headlight out. but in order to take the headlight off, you need the bumper off. After that it sounds like its going to take hours just to get a little bulb in there. just trying to see if anyone had any tricks to it.

Remove the fender liner and you have access to the back of the headlight.

^ that or you may be able to get to it from the hole that is provided for the headlights under the hood, just feel for the small bulb plug, turn it and it comes right out

Just fixed mine 2 days ago. The procedure is in the owners manual. Essentially, for drivers side, turn the wheel all the way to the right (reverse for other side). Pop out the 3 fender liner snaps, and fold it down. Turn the bulb holder 90 degrees to release. Bit tough to reach; use 1 hand to hold down the liner and the other to reach the bulb.

I ordered LED replacements and that should fix them for a while. They will be here next week and I will post.

PS Change the turn signal bulb while you are in there. Cheap insurance.

Good luck, Dave

I just did this. I tried the fender liner method, but i could barely fit my hand in the space provided. So, in my opinion, the EASIEST way is to move the coolant reservoir on the driver side and that will provide a huge hole to put your hand through. The passenger side hole is by the horn and is just as easy to access. SO MUCH EASIER!

P.S. I just got my parking light bulbs at Autozone for about 5$. They are 168NA (amber color).
