Remove 2 bolts, 1 screw and lift the headlight out a little. Access the parkers from below. Twist the bulb holder... It's easy.

Thanks mate... will try that... but when I say the bulb has melted, it might make it hard to get the parker out... will try it out when I have time... or at least take a pic of what I mean by melted... lol

Well..post a pic later...I wouldn't want you to replace the bulbs and have it melt again. Gotta find out the reason why it melted in the first place.

Cool cool... will try to take one tomorrow morning before I go to work, since by the time I get home, its dark...

Yeah I don't know why it melted... but it was like that when I bought it...

Melted or did someone use a glue gun to keep the bulb from falling out?

WTF is going on there!!!!

Looks like someone has modified it to hold a bayonet style blinker globe instead of the T10 wedge parking light. Did it flash when the indicators are on? I assume the bulb has blown? What"s the other side like & what does it do....flasher or parker? Or is it just burnt to shit and not amber?

That's messy. Pull the whole headlight out as Migoreng explained and see if it still comes out. Might be glued in.

Yeah its the same on the other side... I thought it should be a wedge... so no idea what is going on there...

Guess I'll have to remove the headlight and try to get that thing out... not going to be fun... worst case, will have to buy some headlights... coz that does look properly stuffed in there...

Some people... ugh...

Zac this is what it should look like.

I think there has been some modification done to accommodate a larger bulb and the plastic has melted as a result.

eBay has them too hey? We'll see if I can undo mine first, and if I can, then I will get some from somewhere... if not, will have to replace whole headlight on both sides... not looking forward to that... :(

u could always separate the housing with a heat gun or oven to get better access then heat the that crap if you cant get it out...

Could do that... but might make things worse... but if my only choice is to get new headlights, then I might give this a try, nothing to lose...

But no heatgun, so might have to use the oven... :)

If you end up replacing the headlights, may as well upgrade to jdm HIDs at the same time!

Oooo... that does sound good... where do I get them from and how much would they be? Are they going to be a straight plug and play, or does it require work? Importmonster?

Import Monster, or they're all over ebay, or Ichiban may have some. There is a tiny bit of wiring to do but I believe there is a full walkthrough in the DIY section.

Ahhh... yuck... wiring... but meh... we'll see.. might be worth it... got a friend who is quite handy with a soldering iron, so might go to his place to tackle it... we'll see if I can get the parker out of mine first...

Think importmonster is better than ebay? Obviously, local eBay wouldn't have these lights...
