Default Parking Light Out

How do I get at the driver front parking light fixture so that I can change out the bulb? Are ther any tricks, or does one just throw up the hood and reach past the headlight fixture?

Thanks for your help.

Some people do that. I follow the shop manual, jack up that corner, unscrew the about 5 screws holding on the access panel and reach in from below.

Turn on the headlights and back off one position to kill the lights.
Unscrew the 3 small screws on the black plastic housing around the headlight. Gently pull the housing clear.

The side marker light is in the side of the cluster and its a twist/push fit.

Reach down around the outside of the headlight unit and release the bulb holder.

Change the bulb. Reseat the bulb holder.

Put the plastic housing back in place making sure to locate the small plastic tab in the bracket on the headlamp cover. Replace the 3 screws and close the lights.

10 minute job.

The bulb is a 194
