am trying to change the parking light on the drivers side and according to the manual its a case of undoing the screw by the headlight then popping the unit out.

Have undone the screw but this thing does not want to pop out

is there anything else that needs to be undone or is it a case of using brute force on it.

its a 2000 classic

thanks for your help

 

yes you might need to use brute force, but it will just slide out.. have they ever been taken out before?

 

thanks for the response.

i havent had to change a bulb in 3 years so they havent been out since i owned the car.

it wobbles but does not want to slide out

 

ahh, does it move forward ever so slightly then get stuck?

 

doesnt even really do that

you can wobble it slightly but its not sliding anywhere

looked easy according to the manual lol

 

i cant remember now if there is a small plastic tab that needs moving to one side which will allow the unit to slide forward, i know my aftermarket ones just slide forward now.

 

doesnt say anything in the book about that just says remove the screw.

what a pain in the bum.

looked nice and easy although been at it half hour now

 

There is a plastic ball joint that clips into the wing. It really does need a decent wedge out.

You could undo the headlight bolts, move that to the side to make it a bit easier.
