Replacing front running light.... 81

[cjc]

Has anyone had a burnt out running light on the front passenger side? Mines out so I need to replace the bulb, the owners manual says you can access it from the wheel well... I looked and that's not possible, the engine compartment doesn't allow access either. Do I get to it be removing the headlight?

Thanks

Does your car have tires and wheels larger than stock? That would be the only reason you can't reach in the wheel well and detach the marker lamp and socket. If that's the case (and you can't get in there by turning the steering wheel Right), then you may have to remove the wheel to get at it. Might not be a bad idea anyway, if you aren't familiar with the marker lamp assembly.

It has a inner wheel well. (maybe it was added by last owner? I'll have to jack the car up, take tire off, take plastic wheel well out and access light. Any tricks to the light assembly?

thanks
