How to replace Parking bulb on 2009 DB9

Hi

my 2009 DB9, passenger side parking bulb is blown out.

I tried following
Lift the car
Remove wheel and wheel well cover
Remove infer tray
Tried removing air box could not figure it our how to remove it
I see that parking bulb is all the way in front floor so can reach it unless remove whole head light assembly
Is there any easier way to do it
How to remove headlight otherwise?

Thanks

If you removed the airbox ..shove your arm in there and take it out...no other trick, headlamp stays in the car

Oh ok, you split the airbox, I thought you already rook it out completwky, not just the bottom. When I take it out, I don't split it(take out the air filter..).. But doing so will make it easier to remove now.

Remove the torque screw golding the MAF rune to the top of the airbox. Look at the tube, you will see it needs to turn slightly then slide up to be removed from the airbox.

Now there are 4 bolts if memory serves me holding the box in place, 2 on in the wheel well area, 1 near the corner of the bumper and the last up high near the from..remove all 4

Before trying to remove the box, I disconnect and remove the bulb holder for the bumper sidelights marker(they snap when touched)

At this point the airbox should come out and give better access to the pilot bulb..

Yes the Pilot bulb, no way but to remove the air box. Consider installing LED bulb(s) yes do the other side @ the same time. Always replace bulbs in pairs. May want to do the marker bulbs also. The bulbs run "HOT" so one more reason to change to LED regular bulbs cause distortion in the lens which causes water ingress.

Not many sites are Aston friendly as you might know for parts search. Owners book has bulb spec. with that you can search. I believe a few people on here have updated their interior bulbs and license plate bulbs. I have used Amazon and eBay myself.
