Front parking light removal...

I can't remember... How do I get the front bumper parking light housing off again? The turn signal beside it is a bayonet-type ad twists off, but IIRC there's a trick to taking out the parking light one - a clip perhaps? I was looking at it yesterday, and I couldn't for the life of me remember how I got it out the last time.

Thanks in advance!

Oh no Matt! Those are old fart symptoms. You better start hangin with a younger crowd.

If I can remember I'll shuffle out to the garage & give the Bentley manual a look see.

Same thing, the parking light bulb holder also just twists off, but it was stuck really tight the first time I took mine off. Take off the turn signal bulb holder first to give your hands more room. The harness also unplugs from the bulb holder if that might help.

That's right... I unplugged the harness fist to give me more "griposity". It's in there really tight. I knew I remembered unplugging something. Thanks!!!

Yeah, thanks for reminding me that I'll be 40 in March.

After I remembered why I was in the garage I read the manual. rkw is right on the money.

Don't worry about your age Matt. It's just a number.
