HELP: Front Left Market Light
Any tips on replacing this little bulb?


I was able to do the right side with the long nose pliers as may have found, but have not found a good way to get the left side bulb holder out.


HELP!

Unfortunately that is the best way to do it. Removing the air intake hoses made it easier for me and I've modded mine enough to get good at it. Everyone has their learning curve with it and I'll admit it is tricky. Had my fair share of busted knuckles and cuts on my hands.

Here's a thread where some of us talked about getting them back in afterwards and little things that can make it easier. Also talks about LED city light upgrades, if you're interested.

If it's still not what you're looking for, just look for "city lights" or "parking lights" on the forum. There are tons of threads with info on that

Will try another long nose pliers.
I am not worried about fitting LEDs.
I just want to replace a bad bulb.
