How to Remove the Position Light?
3 Answers
Remove the white plastic bolt at the back of the headlight, lift it upward, and pull it outward simultaneously. Pay attention to the wiring harness at the rear of the headlight; there's no need to remove it when replacing the position light. Remove the rubber rear cover of the headlight. The position light is within the red circle—use needle-nose pliers to pull it out. If the LED position light is installed backward, it won't light up, and there will be a light warning. Simply reinstall it correctly.
I once replaced the parking light, which suddenly went out while driving at night, quite a scary experience. To remove it, first make sure the car engine is turned off and the power is disconnected to avoid accidents. In some car models, the parking light is located in the rear taillight assembly. Open the cover of the trunk's light housing, locate the bulb socket part, usually you need to gently twist it before pulling it out. Don't yank the wires directly, as this can easily break them. Wearing gloves during the operation is a good idea to protect your hands from bulb grease or burns. The whole process isn't difficult, but for beginners, it's recommended to check the car manual first to find the exact location. Parking lights are very important; they alert other drivers when driving on highways at night, so replace them promptly if they fail. I always keep a few spare bulbs on hand and fix the issue myself when I notice a problem, saving some money. Remember, if the bulb socket is rusty, you can use a bit of lubricant spray to gently treat it.
I enjoy working on cars, and replacing the side marker lights is quite simple. First, pull it out by turning off the car's power, opening the hood, and locating the light assembly—it may be near the headlights or at the rear depending on the model. Use a wrench to loosen the mounting screws, then rotate the socket about 60 degrees and gently pull it out. Don’t forget to prepare tools: cotton gloves to prevent grease stains and a small screwdriver for adjustments. As an extension, bulbs have a limited lifespan, so regular checks reduce burnout risks. When replacing, opt for LED bulbs with matching wattage for better energy efficiency. Safety first—avoid yanking wires to prevent short circuits and wiring issues. I usually clean the socket contacts to ensure proper current flow. If stuck, take photos for reference during reassembly.
