Hi All,
My front o/s parking light has failed and the indicator is constantly lit,i have Zenon headlamps.
Is this a DIY job to replace bulb,it looks like the headlamp needs removing to replace bulb.
Many thanks Rick

Rick iirc you need to undo the headlight retaining screws (mark them so's to put them back the same)and then slide the lights forward to gain access to the indicator bulb.Not a great design :roll: .....either that or you need fingers like ET :lol:

Your parking light is the angel eye bulb as you said. Easy replacement. At the back of the headlight there is a round twist off cap. Undo this and you will find a halogen bulb. Just turn this bulb to release it. You might as well replace them with nice White led bulbs instead while you're at it, if it's broke...mod it - lol

Need to check mine this evening as I think I removed the pipes etc behind the nearside light. To remove the headlight I had to remove the bumper.
