DIY - Parking/Running Light LED replacement

370Zsteve

Well, just did this in 10 minutes. A couple of things to add to a great DIY:

Wash the area of the front fascia you'll be working around to prevent scratches.

You really don't have to rotate the fastener. Just work the screwdriver under the plastic and gently move it around. Then use the screwdriver to carefully pry up the center portion. A rather narrow screwdriver works best here. Once the center portion pops up a bit, you can easily remove the fastener with your fingers.

I had no trouble at all turning the bulb housing with my fingers, not sure why others did.

As noted, the bulb only works when inserted correctly. Don't go putting everything back before turning on the lights. If the bulb doesn't come on, rotate it 180 degrees.

Careful putting the bulb housing back into the slot. As noted by Proshop01, above, it could be easy to knock the bulb out when re-inserting the housing. And it only goes in one way. A good idea might be to mark the bottom of the housing with a sharpie before you remove it, so you know which way to re-insert it.
