Default Changing Parking lights

Hi All,

Attempted to change the two front parking lights in the AU, but it appears to be convered by a rubber boot.

Would it be easier to remove the WHOLE headlight unit?

Any helpful tips appreciated, thanks!

Just have a really good look at everything before you do anything. Also, just do one at a time, that way if you're unsure of how it should look when done, you've got the other setup to look at.

All the best with it.

I finally had one blow ... but seeing mine have a relocated parklight ... my headlight needs to be removed to access the park-light globe ... not looking forward to that.
