Ques: Replace parking light bulb?
Is there a better way?
Once you find the backing does it twist off?
Some guys with thin arms can push the air duct aside and reach in, depress tab, and replace bulb once they know how, my arms aren't that small.
Tools: 8mm wrench, phillips head screwdriver, T15 screwdriver, T20 screwdriver (If you can, get a set of torx size allen wrenches like this one:http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...&blockType=G17 instead of the straight handle torx drivers. It makes removing the horizontal bolts in step 5 much easier).
1. Turn the lights on so your buckets flip up then turn switch back one click. Your headlights will go off, but the buckets will stay up. (Note: It's actually easier to remove the two T15 screws on the back of the housing (see step 4) before raising your headlights. Not necessary, but easier.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable (8mm bolt).
3. Remove three phillips head screws to take the plastic bezel surround off the headlight.
4. Remove Four T15 size bolts to take the painted cover off of the headlight housing (two in back and one on each side).
5. Remove 2 horizontal torx bolts (I can't remember if they are T15's or T20's) attached to 8mm nuts.
6. Lift the housing up off the rails and let it hang down.
7. Reach down and swap the bulbs.
If you do it this way REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE (8mm bolt). The car has a feature that automatically lowers the headlights after a few minutes and it doesn't really care if your arms or fingers are in the way... Happened to a friend of mine, really nasty bruise...
