Re: how to remove parking lights?

get under the car from and look at the back of the light housing... there are two 10MM screw heads on the backside of each light. Remove those, and push the light out the front of the bumper, and then remove the bulb. that's the easy way. I even did it without jacking up the car, but it would have been easier

You probably need a socket with an extension on it. you might need the extension for one bulb, and have to remove it for the other

Re: how to remove parking lights?

On my car there was a plastic shield blocking one side of each light. Lucky for you they are held in place by these push pin locking devices and 10mm bolts. Once you remove these cover shields its just 2 10mm screws (with bolt heads)that hold the housings in. Once the bolts are removed the housings come out through the front of the car. Installation is just the reverse.

Post up some pics when you are done please. I would like to see what those look like installed and turned on.

Re: how to remove parking lights?

yeah i changed them out for clear ones cause i didnt like the way that they looked at night. the clear ones look good enough for me. overall it was only 44 bucks so it was defiantly worth it.
