Default How to Replace Front Parking light on 2003Z

Do I remove the headlight cover? Is it the two screws at the back of the lens inside the engine compartment? Then pop out from there? I'm affraid of breaking the cover.

im pretty sure you go through the wheel well. i think you have to pull back the fender liner and go in from there

do not remove the headlight cover

I can see replacing the headlight thru the wheel well but the parking lightbulbs plug in from the front. I can't see doing it without taking off the light cover. I wasn't able to find an answer with your link but I appreciate your help.

You can access the parking light by going through the wheel well. I just did it last week and it was fairly easy. Just take out the screws along the edge of the fender liner and two or three snap rivets. The liner pulls out and your lights are exposed. Just twist the parking light socket and pull toward you. Replace the light and reverse the process.
