Side Marker Bulb Replacement
 
Question for the brain trust here. On RoW cars, how does one remove the lens or fixture from front fender to replace a bulb? Searching here led to no results. I am speaking of the little square markers on the front fender found on Euro models only. See photo. Thank you in advance.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1473794731.jpg

The housings have small tabs that hold them against the inner fender. I'm not positive on the bulb but I think they are the same as used in the dash. It should be evident once you remove the housing.

Ok if not clear:

Push 1 and lift around 2 up to about 45°, then pull the whole thing out.

The bulb holder can be pulled out from behind without removing the housing from the fender.

Just pull on it and it'll slide out.

If you remove the housing, be careful when squeezing that tab circled in green. It may be brittle and break. New Hella units are readily available and only about $7 a piece.

If you have an older car with an electric antenna, you may have to remove it (or rather just drop it down out of the way) to get to the passenger side light.
