How To Change Parking Lights, The easy way (with Pics)

After some searching, I couldn't find much info on changing the parking light bulbs so here we go.

First, You'll need a Type 168 Bulb



Next, In the front of the wheel well, undo this fastener



Last, peel the wheel well liner back and you'll see this. A quick quarter turn and you'll have the light out. Replace with a working bulb and you're done.



Not much of a DIY but it should help.

it all helps somebody!

2000 gen 1 or 2002?

Guessing a 02 and up the badger eyes can be troublesome to service. The 00-01's are more simple.

Made a how to on 00-01 a few years back. Figured I'd post it here to have it all in place if that's ok with the OP.

Open your hood. Locate the phillips screw shown here in the picture and remove with a phillips screw driver.


Stand in front of the headlight, wrap your fingers around the side and tug directly forward. You should hear a pop as the light frees itself from the friction fit peg.


Friction peg, works like Lego's nice and simple.



Replace bulbs or housings as needed.


The bulbs are accessed by simply turning the bulb access ports out.


I removed my corners for parking lamp bulb replacement.

194's are what you need for the parking lamps. I went the extra mile and went with white LED's. LED's last 10 times longer, and use far less power.

Picked these up via ebay.




Looks whiter in person.

Fine by me Ben. Great write up!


I had text over my pictures but for some reason its not showing up unless you go to Pbucket.

Ah been there before the photobucket editing feature is always wacky. Nice write up yourself always been curious of how to access the bulbs and how much they differed.
