Last weekend I tried to replace parking light bulbs, but wasn't able to reach them from the inside(engine bay). My hand is too big Is it really that hard to reach those corner bulbs, or I have to remove the whole corner assembly?
Thanks for yer input.

Next to the headlights?

The ones next to the headlights you have to take the assembly out. Actually all of the bulbs you have to take the lamp out to replace, except the headlight.

Alright, here goes another question. How hard is it to remove the assembly. I've never done that before, so any tips and help from you would be great.
Thanks

No problem

Andy, Its easy. There is a philips at the top of the headlight, unscrew that and then take a long flat head and you have to pry the corner lamp out. GENTLY but firmly. Its "popped" in there with the same rivet type thing that holds the side marker in. Just use even pressure and take your time. It will come out.

WAIT!!! Don't go out and pry on the corner lamp with a screw driver. Here's what you do. After you remove the phillips screw on top, see if you can pop off the corner lamp by hand. If not, then you take a long flat-head screwdriver and put it in between the corner lamp and the headlight. Now, look down between the headlight and the corner lamp and you can see where the corner lamp is attached. Next, take the screwdriver and shove the tip in between the "socket" and the "ball insert" and twist, don't pry. If you look down there, you will see exactly what I am talking about.
