Need some help with the front parking light.

I was able to unplug the cable connector - but how can I take the existing bulb out?

Help help?!

Leave the cable connector connected.

Grab where you would pull the connector out, and turn it counter-clockwise. The entire assembly will twist and you then pull it straight back and it's out. The first time twisting it is sometimes tough, at least mine was.

When putting it back in, line up the assembly so it goes straight in, then turn clockwise twist it and lock the assembly in place.

Thanks Jeff! That's did the trick!

My initial problem was not knowing what to "pull".

Thanks again buddy!

the absolute WORST thing u can do is if while wrenching to put the connector back in.. the LED bulb falls out of the socket. then you have a LED bulb to fish out of a tiny hole. had this happen to me. took me a good hour and a half with a dozen little pointy prongs and sticks with sticky tape to fish it out. :b

Before putting my LED back in the hole, I took some electrical tape and tightly wrapped it around so it was attached securely to the socket.

I def. thought about the LED falling into the hole and that scared me lol
