Front Marker Light Removal (right)

[pabille]

I understand the process of how to remove the right marker light stalk, thanks to Evilution's and another site. But, in reality, the actual process seems impossible. You have to contort and bend your wrist so that you hand is reaching backward giving you no leverage at all to turn the light stalk counter-clockwise. Anybody have any tips on how to proceed, outside of removing body panels? Maybe a smaller set of hands or more time in the gym?

Agree - in theory you can use the tips of your fingers to twist the light stalk. In practice, I'm not sure anyone has that much strength in their fingers alone. I'm resigned to removing the light assembly should those bulbs need changing.

It is easier to remove the entire light assembly to change the bulbs. The instructions should be on Evilution or do a search on this websight to locate the directions.

The headlight assembly pops out with the removal of 3 torx screws... once you and a friend remove the entire front panel. A lot of work to change one bulb.
