Thumbs up Parking Lamp Replacement

I have a 98 E320 and the passenger front parking lamp went out. Can anyone help me with instructions on how to access the bulb for replacement etc.? I tried unsuccessfully to remove the cover and clips but not enough room.

i have replaced them before and have not had to take anything else out but it was a squeeze and had fish out the cover very carefully. that though is on a e300 your configuration might be enough different to cause more of a headache.

Do you mean the one in the bumper on the side, or the one in the high beam headlight?

The one in the bumper you can remove the whole assembly with a plastic wedge.

It's not the one in the bumper. It's the light beside the headlight. (The smaller inboard light) The manual says it's the lower bulb.

It is the lower bulb and once you have taken the back cover of, its just a firm pull on the bulb base to get it out (its held by a small spring action on the side).

I guess the issue is not being able to take the cover off, right? All I did was let it drop down then fish it out when done replacing the bulb. It is a bit tight but it is do-able. I agree with Speedlimits though, it really depends on the engine configuration - especially the airfilter box. Got a pic so that we can be clear?
