I tried for like an hour to maneuver my hand into the tiny little space (through the top) and I could not get the bulb out.

Am afraid of breaking the clip or whatever is holding it on there.

Has anyone successfully removed it ? This is the small tiny parking bulb that looks blue-ish.

attached pics for detail

I did this on the CLS, just turn the bulb half a turn and pull hard

post pics of what you replaced it with. I was thinking of doing this as well, along with an hid or bright led reverse white lights. cause my tint is dark i need brighter lights for reverse!

I dont have large hands by far but I couldnt get my fingers in there to change them out.. I have some PIAA Xtreme white's to replace the factory but i just could not get to it.

I finally got to it last night... i took blue monster's advice and pulled hard like a MF'er...

first I took out the h7 high beam bulb to give me more room, then I made sure I turned 1/4 counter clockwise till the flat edge is perpendicular. Came out easy, my hands are totally scratched up though... there are a lot of sharp edges in there.
