#5849, "Parking light"


          

Can anyone tell me how to replace the parking light. I know what I have to do but I cant reach the bulb. I dont think it is possible. I've tried everything short of taking the fender off. I really need to change it but I am having a hell of a time trying to get my hand in there. Anyone ever change it?

I had trouble to, but I just toughed it out and reached in and damaged my hand. From what I understand that is the correct way it was designed. Of course, you can take the headlight off and slide it out then you can unscrew the bulb. But taking off the headlight means the screw on top, the 2 in back towards the side, and the on underneath. Tough job. Maybe you have to big of hands. I know my dad couldnt get in there if his life depended on it. I was just barely able to. Just keep trying, worse comes to worse, detach the headlight screws and slide it out.

I have huge hands. Oh well I am a big guy. I guess I can maybe get someone else to try and get their hands in there.

Probably your best bet. As I'm sure you know taking the headlights off is no fun and the only way to get it is throught that tiny hole on the side. NO FUN AT ALL.
