Woah hold your horses mate. You don't need to take the headlights out!

Pull the rubber cap off the back of the light and the parker will simply pull out.

There is a rubber cover, pull that off
Then its pretty straight forward from there, just look at it and you'll work it out
One of the lights has a clip holding it in, pretty sure thats the actual headlights though
The other does pull out, with some convincing, quite hard/awkward at times...

Thanks for the help guys.. I already replaced the parking lights tday.. it wasnt as simple as just taking the rubber off but i figured it out, kind of fustrating to get the parking light off with that clip blocking it..

Only one parker was working before so I changed the parkers to pure white lights, looks much nicer!
