How To Replace Parking Lights Inside Headlights

These are the ones that come on inside the headlight with one click of the headlight toggle switch. I've had everything apart under the hood but no luck. Does the headlight have to come out?

Took it to the dealer and paid $75 for the bulb and labor. What a joke.

Yes, the entire headlight unit comes out. It only requires a few turns from a special tool in the tool kit. Its pretty simple once you know how to do it.

should read the manual. it's easy to pop the headlight out. the wrench is the trunk.

Does it require realigning the headlights beam pattern? Coz that would suck...

I changes the same lights took about 15 min with the tool kit from the trunk. the entire headlight comes out, but it is something really easy to do, not as complicated as I though it would be.
