I want to replace my front parking light bulbs and it appears the only way is to remove the complete front headlight assembly intact. I removed the two obvious bolts on top of the assembly and it still doesn't want to come. What did I miss? Nothing in the owners manual.

 

There are one or two bolts on the bottom. Remove the tire, and the wheel well molding/splash guard with the door for access to the fog light. That is easier than wiggling around through that small hole to get at the screws. One of them also positions the light up and down so pay attention to how it is setting in there. Even when all the screws are loose and out you will need to be gentle when removing the light as it is a tight fit. IT WILL COME OUT. I have removed both of my OEM and replaced with new. Take your time, OR find some one with long fingers and small hands to change that bulb.

After reading your post again I want to be sure you are not talking about the side marker lights? Those small lenses on the side of the car just snap out. You can help get them started with your hand by reaching in through the access door for the fog light, but that is not necessary.

 

AND ! If you are talking about the 'brow' lights up in the outer corners, then those can be changed using a long open end 10 mm wrench endwise to turn the plastic/rubber bulb holders.
You will also need some skinny needlenose pliers or hemostats.

 

Thanks folks. Kept digging and I found a thread about using the open end of a crescent wrench, I used 5/16 and slip it thru from the top on to the socket. Remember "lefty loosy and righty tighty". 1/4 turn and the socket will come out, pop out the bulb and reverse the procedure. You can use a finger to hold it in and the with your wrench on the fitting you can slowly turn it. If difficult to turn,slip the end of a screw driver through the box end of the wrench and use leverage for a turning motion. Ten minutes per side when you know what to do. I put in LED's.
